Antialiased lines with 3D-GPU

[David.P]

Hi Forum,

I have a Nvidia GTX 860M Graphics card which (of course) supports all types of 3D quality settings, for example:

On an ancient Nvidia graphics card of mine, antialiasing used to work with these settings:

However, I can't seem to find a settings combination with my current card where simple lines in Sketchup are antialiased.

Any help regarding the right 3D settings would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
David

Let the application (sketchup) decide and tinker with Window > Preferences OpenGL, hardware acceleration settings

Whoa! I was not aware that these are actually settings. I thought that this dialog:

...listed only video driver capabilities. However highlighting one of the rows DOES indeed change the respective setting. This dialog really should be re-designed using checkboxes!

Anyway, your tip already helped on my desktop with an AMD Radeon HD 7700 card. Same on the notebook -- when the Intel HD graphics card is chosen for driving Sketchup.

However, when I chose the Nvidia GPU from the Nvidia control panel for powering Sketchup, all the settings in the OpenGL section of the above dialog are ignored. I mean, there are those different rows with different Antialiasing capabilities (like 2x and 4x), but when highlighting one of them, closing that dialog and re-starting Sketchup, lines are still not anti-aliased but look like this instead:

Is there anything else I can do to force antialiasing not only on the Intel HD GPU but also with the GTX 860M CPU?
