      Hello, I am using a translator because I am a foreigner. The grammar can be weird.

      I wanted to make it feel like I drew it with a pen.
      But if you draw it with a pen, the line breaks in the middle.

      It was okay when I used the basic feature Hidden Line.
      Here's a picture to help you understand. I put it as an attachment.
      It will be easy to understand if you look at the red circle.
      The settings are the same, such as profile, depth, etc.
      Export was useless.

      Is there any way?

        Can you share the style file?

        If not open the style in StyleBuilder and load the table into it then mess around until you can see which edge property needs attention

          Even if it's not my style, All pen lines have the same effect. 😒
          These pictures are pen styles built into the sketchup by default.
          They all show the same phenomenon.

            Yes, but certain styles use images as strokes and these can not render if they are not setup to do so.

            Strokes/Edges eventual become so small that they cannot be rendered...

            Here is the same object various distances from the camera with an image based stroke.

              Oh! I understood.
              I couldn't add a shorter stroke to the style,
              but I think I can solve it by exporting it to a larger image.
              Or if you set a large proportion of the model, it looks pretty good.
              It's not completely resolved, but it looks pretty good.

              Thank you very much for your help.
              Yesterday was early in the morning, so I came to say hello late.
              I hope you have a good day!

                Exporting at a larger size helps show shorter segments but it also makes them thinner so you have to watch that. The same sketchy style was used for all the different export sizes in this image.

                Another thing that helps when working with sketchy styles is to weld edges. In this example both of these are exactly the same shape, The curves of the left hand one are all exploded. The curves on the right hand one are all welded.

                  Oh! This is really good advice.
                  In particular, I didn't think the line would change depending on welding.
                  I think I can try various things according to your advice.

                  Thank you for the details!
                  Thank you so much for your help, and I hope you have a happy day!
