drafting - hidden lines
drafting - hidden lines
(OP)
Is there a way to control the depth for which nx displays hidden lines? (Something like a base point in break out section) The thing is that when model is complex and I need to show some hidden edges, I get like trillion lines.
Thanks.
Thanks.





RE: drafting - hidden lines
Select the view of interst in your drawing, press MB3, select 'Style' and then select the 'Perspective' tab. Now toggle ON the item labeled 'Back Clipping'. If you set the distance to '0.00' this will basically remove from the view all of the model's edges in back of the XYZ origin of the model. You can change this value, moving forward (+ values) or backwards (- values) to set the point at which the hidden edges will be visible or not.
