Back edges to layout

jerrymich

I have created a scene in sketchup where I have the back edges showing. (creating a slab on grade and I want to show the footings underneath) Everything seems ok until I send to layout. The viewport does not show the (dashed) back edges and I want this to show.

My process

create scene for slab on grade
make back edges visible
update scene
save file
insert model in layout (viewport)

Edges do not show.

I'm using 2019 pro

Thanks, Jerry

Back edges are a raster display thing so they won't show if you are rendering in Vector or Hybrid. With SU2019, you could create a scene using a style that shows the Footings layer with dashes. You'll probably want to use the Wireframe face style with the dashes. Then in LO stack viewports with the different scenes so the footings can be displayed with the dashes and the rest of the model as solid, in the other viewport. This is much easier now in LO2021 since you can use a single scene for the two viewports and control which tags are visible and which tags use dashes.
