Does anybody know why this non WYSIWYG factor occurs?
Here’s what part of a drawing appears like in SU:
And right here is identical drawing imported into LO:
The dotted traces are a part of a bunch representing a portal body. As you possibly can see, in LO the dotted line has overridden the strong line in SU. I can consider a workaround however I’m fascinated with understanding why it occurs.
So the dashed edge a part of the body and that body sits behind the primary rafter, which is strong? (behind, in accordance with the digital camera…ie, the dashed lineshould be obscured from this view)?
AFAIK in sketchup it seems strong as a result of that’s the sting which is in entrance of the opposite one (right draw order), however in LO, is seems dashed as a result of LO merely isn’t superb at determining the place the digital camera is.
If the dashed line is in the very same place as the primary line, then I’m informed that the draw order is predicated on how sketchup organises itself internally (bit like a mannequin heirarchy).
So yeah, it occurs as a result of SKP and LO have other ways of ‘drawing’ what’s in entrance (going through digital camera). It’s a LO bug, principally.
Query tho- in case you wished the dashed line to have a big thickness, would you continue to need it to look behind the strong line?
How does autocad characterize it in case you export a 2nd or 3d DWG?
It’s a 2D drawing in SU so there isn’t a draw order and every thing is on the identical aircraft. However SU should “determine” which takes priority.
It appears odd certainly if SU makes one determination on draw order and LO makes one other! Nonetheless possibly that’s certainly what is going on.
What I need is what I see in SU as that’s the main working platform. So I are likely to take the view that if it appears proper in SU it ought to look proper in LO (unsuitable, huh?).
I don’t wish to change linestyles or thicknesses, simply the draw order. And I do know numerous methods to get what I need. Nevertheless it’s a disgrace to wish to.
Nice remark. I are likely to suppose this fashion as effectively. The one manner I’ve discovered to deal with that is with stacked viewports…which in essence is me solely caring in regards to the normal view of a scene in Sketchup after which overriding Structure’s determination about draw order.
Stacked viewports could be one choice however what a faff! I are likely to take the simpler route of simply hiding or deleting the offending line in SU.
What I suppose I primarily wish to know is that this. You probably have two coplanar teams in SU, one with one linestyle and one with one other, how does LO determine which to make dominant? As a result of there could also be a manner inside SU of arranging issues such that you just get what you need with out workarounds.

Shall be following to see if there may be reply to that one…might save me a ton of time.
You’ll count on me to say this Simon… I’d draw this straight in Structure.
