could someone please clarify how the line width in combination with monochrome details views are supposed to work:
When I activate the detail there is noch width visible:
I’m not seeing any such change between an active and an inactive detail here. Please post both the output of the Rhino SystemInfo command and a simple 3dm file that we can use to troubleshoot.
Currently, when printing from a technical display mode to vector output, the definition of the hard-coded “Continuous” linetype is used. Hopefully, in Rhino 9 this will be configurable.
Assuming that you are printing to vector output, the Monochrome display mode is a terrible mode to use as a preview of what the output will be. If you need the shadows, you will need to output to raster format.

I don’t get it! There are hidden lines when printed!? I definitely meant the line width…

I thought that was the new big thing in Rhino8! What is it for? Raster output?
I think I once saw a Rhin8 beta version that printed monochrome with shadows and vector lines on top.
This no longer seems to be the case.
Anyway, the monochrome style should print a layout with shading and vector lines when a detail view is displayed like this on a layout!
