All, I need help.
Issue summary:
I’m trying to do our submittal and shop drawings for metal panels completely in Rhino. However, I can’t seem to get the surface edge thickness to get acceptably thin. I know I can just create lines and use those for the view, but I’d really like to just display the surface edges so they are fully dynamic
sheets as the model changes.
Outcome Summary:
My goal would be to make PDFs displaying surface edges as they look in the viewport using the vector print option.
Settings at this point.
Below are my settings and outcomes.
I tried a view variations but this is essentially the technical display mode with every line setting at 1 pixel:
further on another discussion I found the tip to use raster output and match viewport display so these are the print settings:
These screen shots show accurately what we are looking for.
These are the PDF outputs:
