HLR preferences

HLR stands for hidden line removal.

  • Use Polygon Approximation: Uses an approximation to find hidden lines. This is fast, but the result is a collection of short straight lines.
  • Show Hard Lines: Shows hard and outline edges (visible lines always shown)
  • Show Smooth Lines: Shows smooth lines. A smooth line is a line indicating a change between tangent surfaces, as in the transition from a flat surface to a fillet.
  • Show Seam Lines: Show seam lines. A seam line is a boundary between faces.
  • Show UV ISO Lines: Shows ISO lines. ISO stands for isoparametric. Here is a description what isoparametric lines (in fact curves) are.
  • ISO Count: The number of ISO lines per face edge.

  • Detect Faces: If checked, TechDraw will attempt to build faces using the line segments returned by the hidden line removal algorithm. Faces must be detected in order to use hatching, but there can be a performance penalty in complex models.
  • Report Progress: Issue progress messages while building View geometry. introduced in version 0.21
  • Use New Face Finder Algorithm: If checked, the new face finder algorithm will be used instead of the original one. introduced in version 0.21
  • Auto Correct Dimension Refs: If checked, an attempt is made to update dimension references when the model changes. introduced in version 0.21
  • Show Section Edges: Highlights the border of the section cut in section views.
  • Fuse Before Section: Performs a fuse operation on the input shape(s) before Section view processing
  • Allow Crazy Edges: Includes edges with unexpected geometry in results, e.g. zero lengths
  • Debug Section: Dumps intermediate results during a Section view processing
  • Debug Detail: Dumps intermediate results during a Detail view processing
  • Overlap Edges Scrub Passes: The number of attempts to remove overlapping edges returned by the Hidden Line Removal algorithm. A value of 0 indicates no scrubbing. Values above 2 are generally not productive. Each attempt adds to the time required to produce the drawing. introduced in version 0.21
  • Edge Fuzz: Size of selection area around edges. The fuzz unit is approximately 0.1 mm, depending on your current zoom. The default is 10. Values in the 20-30 range will make it noticeably easier to select edges. Large numbers will cause overlaps with other drawing elements.
  • Mark Fuzz: Selection area around center marks. The fuzz unit is approximately 0.1 mm, depending on your current zoom.
  • Max SVG Hatch Tiles: The limit of SVG tiles with a size of 64x64 pixels used to hatch a single face. For large scalings one might get an error about to many SVG tiles, then one needs to increase the tile limit.
  • Max PAT Hatch Segments: The maximum hatch line segments used when hatching a face with a PAT pattern.
