Level of detail for different print outputs

Hi all,

I stumbled upon this YT video showcasing Level of Detail set-up in VA2

I tried to replicate it - with a bit of success - but had trouble while printing. My use case is a bit simpler than those discussed above:

  • I have a few wall styles with corresponding layers and section hatches (1:100)
  • For the first few consultations with the client, I need to represent them only as if they all were just one layer wall with black solid hatch. (1:200)

So i made my custom display mode with “clipping planes” - “solid color” - “black”.

And was pretty satisfied with the results:

BUT. When printing to pdf. vector output does not work. So I proceeded to use raster, BUT when exporting a small groundplan, few random bugs started to occur - missing opening lines of some doors, missing random texts from annotations…

To overcome this problem and to make vector output possible, i tried to create a copy of Hidden display mode (VA native). But found out it has no “clipping planes” - “solid color” - “black” option!:

From my side, i do not need any other features regarding Level of Detail, just this. I was so close, but now i am stuck.

Can You add this option? Would it be hard to implement? What do you suggest?

Thanks,
Michal
