      Hey all,
      Getting a bit frustrated, and could use some advice...

      I've designed/built (in SU 7 free version) an office for a friend.
      I want to send her images of changes and ideas via e-mail with jpegs (she's not computer savvy).

      But when I export as JPEG, all the black lines are saved (and quite heavy) which takes away from the design.

      Is there anyway to get a snapshot without the lines?

      I'm trying to teach myself Indigo (is this a good option?), so I can render in the future, but learning is taking a bit too long for this project.

      any suggestions would be very much appreciated!
      cheers
      jason

        I find it quickest just to grab a screen image.

          Hi, arewenotjason
          Are you referring to edges and profiles? There is an option to turn them off under View - Edge style.

          Comfortably numb...

            thanks chris, hadn't thought of that!

            thanks numb, i've got 'profiles' turned off.
            but without 'display edges' the drawing looks too flat...

            probably being too picky here
            i guess i need 'some' black line, but not those chunky black corners...

              Hi Jason,

              Try to export your images at a much higher (2-4x big) resolution then needed without antialiasing on (these settings can be found under the export options at the bottom right when opening the export window). Then resample them in a fairly decent image editor (which can do antialiasing). You will have thinner, finer and crisper edges (and just leave profiles off if you don't need them)

              Gai...
