Hi…,

is there a way to print PNGs with a transparent background? Here an example: gradient_hatch_and_transparent_print_test.3dm (164.5 KB)

wish_print_PNG_background_transparent
wish_print_PNG_background_transparent.png885×866 71.5 KB

wish_print_option_background_transparent
wish_print_option_background_transparent.png756×412 77.8 KB

Thanks

Hi Michael,

-ViewCaptureToFile provides that functionality.

Hi Wim,

I have tried this now with my gradient hatch in the current WIP with -ViewCaptureToFile. I get the attached crap. :wink:

Also -ViewCaptureToFile is so hard to handle (correct sizes and aspect ratio). This makes me nervous.

Have you tried this?

Why not print the layout? Everything is set up, only the transparent feature is missing (Wish for Rhino 7 improvments)

Thanks

Michael
