Inventor 2012 model shading/colour Issues

Hi,

 

I am a student in grade 12 and I am using inventor 2012 for a project.  I have followed a tutorial on youtube on how to make a rim for a car (seen here http://youtu.be/-rCZNFARSfQ )

 

When i completed my drawing i noticed that the curved inner wall of the outer part of the rim had lines and did not go away in the rendering.

I think it would be cool I could design my own set of rims, but i could not bring myself to hand in something that does not look perfect.  I do not know if there are any settings to get rid of the lines or if you have to render the image in something like autodesk showcase?

 

Thanks,

 

Steve

Hi Steve,

Welcome to the forum.

In your drawing are you using a shaded view? or what representation are you using?  You have a couple of options.  If there are only a few lines you can select them and RC and hide them.  Or you can RC on the view itself and edit it and under the display tab are some settings that could work for you as well.

Can you roll up the EOP and attach the file here?

Do you have a Surface Body visible that you forgot to turn off?

If not that, I suspect a lighting change will take care of the problem, but my first bet is a surface body overtop the solid faces.

 

Find the red End of Part marker in the browser.
(End of Folded on sheet metal parts EOF)
Drag the red EOP to the top of the browser hiding all features.

Save the file with the EOP in a rolled up state.

Right click on the file name and select Send to Compressed (zipped) Folder.

Attach the resulting *.zip file here.

Hey Cadmanto,

i was using the shaded veiw but the lines appear in other views also.  They are not actual lines that i can click on but lighting errors(?) that change when you zoom in.

Find the Surface Body in the feature browser and right click on it and turn off Visibility.

Steve,

I like JD, was thinking the same thing.  I called your part up and was wondering the exact same thing.  I didn't see any lines, but saw you had the surfaces turned on.  Not to mention I got the impression that this was happening in a drawing.

There were a couple of Suppressed features at the bottom of the tree, when I unsuppressed the Combine feature the "lines" became apparent.

I didn't do that.  I undid the roll back and didn't see anything was where I was coming from.

DIdn't have time to dig into it that deeply.
