Today I found some time to try sketchy edges on other systems, and this is the result :

On my main system, a desktop with Nvidia Geforce 6150SE videocard I have Sketchup 8.0.16846 and wine 1.5.24: skechy edges does not work.

On a Dell latitude D620 laptop with Ubuntu 12.04, sketchup 8.0.16846 and wine 1.5.25 sketchy edges work perfectly.

This gave me some hope, so on my desktop, I upgraded wine to 1.5.25 to see what happened.... unfortunately I still have no sketchy edges.

As a last test I took a Dell latitude D630 with fedora 18, sketchup 8.0.16846 and wine 1.2.24 : no sketchy edges either, after upgrading to wine 1.5.25 still no sketchy edges...

So it seems that the problem is not only related to Sketchup and Wine, both my fedoras, on very different hardware seem to have the problem while ubuntu, on similar hardware as Fedora18 seems to work fine.

Anyway, the sketchy edges are not a terrible issue for me, and whenever I need them, I can go back to my ubuntu laptop....

Hi Aerilius,

This sounds hopeful.... you say the libs have been implemented as of wine 1.5.04. Currently I am on 1.5.24, so this should be ok (unless those libs have to be installed separately, which I did not do ???).

You also mention that you get sketchy edges depending on the sketchup version. Which version did you use for the screenshot ? I am using 8.0.16846 right now.

Dave,

Thanks for the screenshots.... as you mention, this shows it is not a sketchup issue, but rather something with my graphics config. or wine configuration.

Thanks for your support.

Gai, Dave,

Here we are, the file tutorial.skp attached. There's a couple of styles included in the model. All the ones that do not have "sketchy" in their description work well on my system. All the ones with "sketchy" in the description have completely invisible edges.

Dave, I checked the edge setting within styles as you suggested, and the setting is exactly as in your first example : the edge box is ticked and the detail slider almost completely to the right.

I repeat what I mentioned in my first post: I am on a linux system running skype through wine. Don't know if this could be the reason or not (though I hope it isn't.... sketchup is otherwise working pretty good on that configuration)

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the reply, however, I don't think it has to do with the line size. Edges not visible means no edges at all, neither small nor long ones.

As an example one of the sketchup tutorials in default style :
My default style

Skechy crayon style

I added the dimension to show that it seems only to happen with raster img. edges.

Hi,

When I change styles, there are a lot of styles where no edges appear at all. I have the impression that this is always the case when the edges are represented by raster imagas (for example, in none of the sketchy styles) the edges show up on my screen.

I hope this subject does not exist yet on this forum, but being new to the forum, I could not find a way to do a search on the topics.....

by the way, I am running sketchup 8 through WINE on a linux machine.....
