Edges opacity adjusting problem
-
I can get the visual results of the material/color opacity adjusting, when the material/color assigned to a FACE. But when the material/color assigned to an EDGE I can't get any visual effect, after adjusting of the material/color opacity.
Why?
-
Opacity for edges is not supported in SU.

Thank you very much for saving of my time from useless experiments!

Hi,
The effect is very easy to achieve in Photoshop. Export a colour image with shadows etc. but with edges turned off. Export a second image, as a hidden-line line drawing without shadows. Put the line drawing as a layer above the colour image, set the layer mode to Multiply or Darken, and adjust the layer transparency slider until you get what you want.

Thank you, Anssi, - it's a very useful technique for standalone pictures!
Itβs a pity, but according to my task I would like to have the opacity adjusting inside SketchUp session.
I have got that in current version of SketchUp itβs impossible.Good luck!

you can change the color of the lines from black to grey but they will still not be transparent.
