      Of course I know the Hidden Geometry function but this is not the case. In Figure 6 I manually unsoft edges to be visible contour of sink.

      About the effect I want. If there is a plugin that will automatically do something like this, it can be a tool that will help me unsoft selected edges.


      5 Hidden line view + profile view + top view + hidden geometry on


      6 Hidden line view + profile view + top view + manualy unsoft edges

        Maybe if you don't soften those edges in the first place?

          Have you tried adjusting the slider on the soften dialog until you get the edges you want?

            I tried this but unfortunately such a way also requires a lot of manual processing.


            7 Hidden line view + profile view + top view + soften edges no to strong


            8 Hidden line view + profile view + top view + soften edges a little stronger

              We're not talking about iso-contours here?

              I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

                You do know about CRTL Eraser for soften and CRTL Shift Eraser for unsoften I assume.

                  I just checked on the internet which means iso-contours. And it really might be it 😄

                  I did not know it was so called. Is it possible to do something like that with my sink?

                    Of course I know these functions. Unfortunately this is still a lot of manual work. I thought that someone knows a faster way.

                        you can usually fix this pretty quick by turning on hidden geometry, window select the faces you'd like to give visible edges to, copy, exit group (or group original), paste in place, turn off hidden geometry, explode group..

                        (sometimes readjusting the soften smooth setting on the copied face after pasting.. or selecting the face and deleting, etc..).

                        attach the .skp if you can't figure it out.. i'm pretty sure you should be able to do it on this model.
