      Is there any way to lessent the black outline in between having edges selected and not selected. When the model is zoomed in it is fine, but when the model is zoomed out it is heavy with black lines. I have made sure that profiles is not on. It would be ideal if I could set a lineweight like in autocad. Thanks, Brian

        Nope. Unless you use Layout

        For your SU output however, the resolution defines the lineweight. So for finer lines export at a higher resolution. Try 2000-5000 pixels across. Also people play with exporting both linework and colors separately and remixing to taste in Photoshop or GIMP.

        What I would like to see in either LO or SU is a hierarchy based on distance from the the nearest object behind. So something projecting 1" from a wall would be light compared to the profile that is against the sky, on a sliding scale.

        Something my CAD software has is lightening of lines when zoomed out. Nice for on-screen, but has nothing to do with output. Makes the CAD window look better than a pdf that can't do that, if you know what I mean.

          Maybe you could lighten the Edge color from the Styles dialog.

          Hi
