Hidden Lines do not show correctly in model view

mbaycura — Thu, 19 Mar 2020 22:47:42 GMT

Hello, my model display does not show all the hidden lines correctly when the display mode is selected to be "wireframe with hidden edges". The biggest issue is internal curvature is not visible, but there are also several straight edges that should be visible that do not display. I could not find settings to force tangent edge or transition edges to show, though this doesn't seem to be the only type of edge not showing. Is there a setting I'm missing or is this a bug?

Below is a sample part displayed as full wireframe and wireframe with hidden lines where many hidden lines are missing.

Thanks for posting. Here is a option in the preference>Graphics called "Hidden Edge Dimming". I made it 100% and it some of the lines appeared. But not all of them. Please try it from your side.

Thanks for the idea, I tried it, but didn't see a change. The hidden lines that are visible got darker but no new lines appeared. I went on to try every other option for Graphics quality on that preferences tab and none of those options helped either.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, same problem. I also tried a new part and a simple box won't display correctly. Some edges always remain invisible when hidden.

I tried manually selecting every option for the graphics driver, that didn't help. I've tried different materials and colors as well and the same lines stay invisible when hidden.

It's strange, this seems like a problem many people would be having, my machine is new, win 10, up to date, with high end graphics capability and I can't think of anything unique about what i'm doing or using.

You are not alone; I suspect that a lot of people are having this issue, but since most of the time most of us work with the visual style 'shaded with visible edges', this issue is simply not getting noticed. In my case, I cannot even show the hidden lines in a simple block with the visual style set to 'shaded with hidden edges'. I am not sure how long this condition has existed; perhaps it came about in a recent update. I really, really hope that this gets fixed. I have a paid subscription to Fusion 360, even though I use it as a hobbyist. It is when I see things like this with Fusion 360 that I wonder if this software will ever be ready for truly professional use.

thanks, @mbaycura - I had not noticed this before because, as mentioned here, most people don't use that mode, but it is definitely a bug. I've notified the graphics team to take a look at it.

Just to chime in, though it seems it's already been confirmed by others. I have the same issue and generally work in the "Shaded with Hidden Edges" view. I only observed the change in behavior recently.

I turned off all effects in the display settings and that fixed the issue...
