Hi, In AutoCAD layout got anybody know how to hide the mesh line. Its mean that make it look not so messy. Any solutions about it?

*DISPSILH to 1 - this is not work for mesh line, Its just for 3D object solid.

Any other solutions?

Thanks !

Hi,

Can we have one chair (dwg) here for testing?

From ReMark on Cadtutor:
Some settings that affect 3D output:

DISPSILH – Display Sihouette

This setting affects the results of the Hide command. A setting of 0 displays tessellation lines. A setting of 1 suppresses tessellation lines.

FACETRES – Rendered Object Smoothness

This setting affects both rendering and hide results. The default setting is 0.5. The max setting is 10. A lower setting results in a quicker render time but rounded edges will appear as a series of straight segments. A higher setting results in a longer render time but rounded edges will appear much smoother.

ISOLINES – Contour lines per surface

This setting affects the wireframe view but not the Hide or Render commands. Settings can range from 0 to 2047. The default setting is 4.

SPLINESEGS – Segments in a Polyline Curve

This setting controls the number of segments in a polyline curve. The settings range from 0 to 32767 with the default being 8. The higher the setting the smoother the appearance is of a rendered curve.

Edit the chair block EDWG0EC5894E052A491AA3913155A170C450 (bedit or refedit command) and explode its subblock 72bnx_ports366A8593A1AAA48E09358BD6C2BF7D290 (the mesh). Save the edited block and choose a suitable Visual Style (e.g. conceptual).

Result attached.

BTW: Some of the furniture is placed incorrectly. See attached video.

Hi, I felt very appreciate on your clear explanation & info. Actually what I need is when I print out or convert to PDF, the mesh line disappear.

Please refer to the attached file.

Given such an object without any edges, what lines would you want to see to describe and visualize the geometry? Pick up a pen and try it. AutoCAD is beyond its capabilities.
I think you will have to model your own simplified chair (3D model).

Hi, Please refer to the file, this is what I want.
I think AutoCAD cannot, is there any other solution?

Very clean, without too many lines.
