vaPlanview - Layout Plans from 3d model Hidden mode

[fsalla (Francesc Salla)]

Hi Alexandros,

@ng5_Alex

When using vaPlanview (default style, no overrides) everything comes out both in print and viewport as black

This is a bug. We will fix it in the upcoming updates.

@ng5_Alex

no assigned print widths are considered, everything is in a single width.

The print preview of print widths is only visible in the page layout.

@ng5_Alex

After exploding the view nothing is a polyline.

This is how 2D plan views are generated now. We can consider generating closed polylines for the object’s sectioned boundary in future versions. I add your vote for this feature.
Also, we have planned to add an option to control the print width of a wall for all its boundary (which is not possible now if you have a wall with multiple layers).

@ng5_Alex

Coming back to print preview, when using plan view in hidden mode in layout print display does not work as expected.

This issue might be related to the first one mentioned before.

@ng5_Alex

If there were to be default draw order rules, maybe the following could be valid for most cases:

hatches should always be in the back, then section curves should always be above projection curves and lastly for both, section and projection curves, thicker widths are always above thinner ones.

I agree. And this is how it should work now. Please share a simplified example where this doesn’t work for you.

@ng5_Alex

Then, is there a way to control hatch print width?

I think it isn’t. This is something McNeel should implement in the section styles attributes.

@ng5_Alex

vectors have some weird artifacts. These results are with 600dpi resolution in print dialog.

Have you tried to increase the dpi resolution? please send me some sample files that we can review to improve these results.

Thanks!
