    Problem

    How to remove all hidden lines from a 3D design?

    Solution

    There are 3 different methods.

    Method #1: Export Visible Edges
    1. File > Export Visible Edges...["Export Visible Edges" dialog opens].
    2. Set desired settings, review help for more information on settings.
    3. Click Export ["Save Visible Edges Design File As" dialog opens]
    4. Give file a name and location (default extension is HLN).
    5. Click OK.

    Notes:
    - Used to export an entire model to visible edges.

    Method #2: Switching display mode to "Hidden Lines" or "Filled Hidden Lines".
    1. From Menubar, go to Settings > Rendering > View Attributes.
    2. Change Display to "Hidden Line" or "Filled Hidden Line".
    3. Click Apply.

    Notes:
    - Normally used to clearly view the design, which will allow the element to remain hidden after view updates.
    - Optional: Enable "Graphics Acceleration" to allow Video card to control view updates.

    Method #3: Using Reference Presentation.
    1. After attaching a 3D model as a reference; in Reference dialog, highlight the reference to be set.
    2. Click the "Reference Presentation" button [Set Reference Presentation dialog opens].
    3. Change Presentation to "Hidden Line " or "True Hidden Line".

    Notes: True Hidden Line is only available if the model is a layout type.
