Hidden lines showing through thin walls
Hidden lines showing through thin walls
(OP)
Hello,
For some reason, NX will show lines that are hidden behind very thin walls. See the attached image for an example. You can try it yourself to see if you have the same problem:
1. create a 100 mm sided cube
2. create a 40 mm thick extruded cut inside the cube which is offset from the cube walls by 0.2 mm.
The cut is entirely inside the cube, but the lines of the cut are showing through the wall. Zooming in will make the lines less visible.
Changing the faceting, line width, or the tolerances of the features makes no difference.
I've upgraded to the most recent certified Nvidia driver (347.52), but the problem persists.
Can someone please confirm if they don't have this problem?

RE: Hidden lines showing through thin walls
There is a setting in 'Visualization - Preferences'.
Disable the 'Edge Emphasis' and check(Session settings).
Thanks,

Now if this issue is preventing you from producing good screen captures for external use as image files, you may need to first use some of the software rendering tools as they do the hidden edge removal with software so there will be NO bleed-thru.
