Minimum outline width changed?
-
Today when I wanted to set a 1px outline in my style (because I wanted to see the contour, but with the same thickness of the rest of the lines) I got this message:
This puzzled me - because I was sure I'd done so before. And when I check in SU7, 1px gives no error. But I suspect that it might have changed in and SU8 update? I imagine I used this with SU8...
Rather annoying change. Even the error message is misleading.

Changing it using the Ruby API posed no such errors:
Sketchup.active_model.rendering_options['SilhouetteWidth'] = 1This is an artificial UI restriction.

you mean the profiles? I have it at 1 pixel normally (it gives a profile edge to round surfaces like spheres)

You don't get an error message when you set the Style to have 1px outline?
-
Can you show the settings behind the error box?
I'd imagine that is where there error is from.

The messagebox appear when I set the Outline property to 1px. The rest of the Edge style properties is unchecked.

What is the extensions integer at even if unchecked?
If 0 set to 1

I do not get any errors when I set it to 1px (but you did not confirm if you are talking about the profiles? There is no such box as outline even if it is called that way in ruby)

Check the value for your current style’s Edge Extension (two values down from Profiles)- is it 0? If it is, change it to have a valid value.
There is a known bug where, when you export a model with edge extensions turned off to pdf, the model’s style is incorrectly changed to have a value of 0 for extensions. Which can cause the very confusing error message you are seeing.
Did you recently export to pdf?
A known occurrence of the error box

Now that is just plain silly!

That's to say - it worked. Though it makes no logical sense to why this is so...

Get back to Bezier Surface.......

I had this problem awhile back with a file someone sent to me. It was the same thing. The other person had set Extensions to 0.
