Making solid fills visible in "Shade Plot: Hidden"

Anonymous — Thu, 02 May 2019 07:54:12 GMT

Hi everyone!

Is it any way possible to print your layout with viewport set to "Hidden" or "Legacy Hidden" and still have solid fills visible in the print? Reason why is sometimes I have a lot of layers with 3d objects on top of each other in different heights in some drawings, and I want the top layers to hide what's beneath them.

Picture 1 is the layout, and also how I want the fills to look like in the print.

Picture 2 is the actual print.

Hey @Anonymous

Have you tried using a 3D viewport? I think that should solve your problem

I just tried, but it only partially works, sadly. "3D wireframe" makes solid hatches, wipeouts and gradients visible, but makes me able to see all objects beneath any 3d objects/meshes.

"3D hidden" hides all solid hatches and wipeouts again.

Hi,

>> using a 3D viewport?

May I ask what a "3D viewport" is?

~~It's not literal. It's the viewport that you use when working with 3d~~

Hey @Alfred.NESWADBA

It's not literal. It's actually the viewport used when working with 3D drawings.
