Missing lines in pdf
-
I am trying to export model as pdf with colour by layer option. I am getting missing lines in pdf. I tried turning on and off the hardware acceleration but failed to get the appropriate result.
I tried again in 2017 version and was disappointed again.
What must I do to get the lines in the pdf?
This is the jpeg export of the result that I want.

FYI. Just checked your file with SU17. Same result.

Deleted the faces in the shadow outlines and it worked for me.

You have overlapping faces which is the cause of the missing lines. (Z-fighting)
Also, you have geometry on layers other than zero, this will always cause problems in SU. (always has)
Better to keep all geometry on layer zero and put groups/components on layers other than zero to control visibility or in this case color by layer.Dave Beat me to it.......

I always thought that keeping everything on different layer is an organized way! I mean a rectangle group with its geometry on layer "green rectangle" and also the group within the same layer. I was living in a lie! Whoa! I will follow this golden rule that you've given me! Thanks a lot!

That's a cool maneuver!
Please provide some links of pages that will enlighten me more about this basic common sense on geometry conflict. I've been using SketchUp for more than 8 years and still sometimes feel a newbie.
I'm aware of Z-fighting of faces.

I don't know of any links. It's just experience.

Reminds me of an Indian proverb."Talking to a wise man is far better than reading thousand books."
