Thank you Alexandre, I was struggling with thickness display too. Just to add that you can also adjust line thickness when you set the Layer Print Width and Layout Print Width, without having to select things manually and go to properties. Useful for more standard architectural drawings.
has someone solve this in rhino 8? i miss just having to turn it up but now there are more options that pop up when clicking print display and even if u turn it on wont show the thickness of the lines in model
So what do you do with those projection lines anyhow? (I started out life as a tool designer so I know what they are for, but I fail to see why you would create them after you have modeled a part?) In fact, I can see no reason to create them whatsoever. Also, when Rhino creates the 2D drawings it is not "unfolding" anything. Unfolding is a term used to describe flattening a 3D object to determine the flat sheet layout prior to folding or bending, as in sheet metal or card board boxes.
Well, if you create a 3D model such as a new aircraft study, (I use that example because that s what me and my colleagues do all the time.), once the 3D model ( Masterline ) is created we then create 3 views ( called a descriptive arrangement ), showing where the Mean Aerodynamic Chord, Landing gears position are, overlay cabin layouts, overlay a Structural layout etc... going from 3D to 2D is necessary. It s not just a nice to have thing, actually doing drawings in 2D are so much faster at times rather than spending time doing surfacing work all the time . These PDFs are then created of those projected views and are needed to validate the designs with other experts who don't use 3D nor know anything about 3D, before we go any further.

Thank you. I was looking for the function of "PrintDisplay" for a long time.
12:30 the thickness option in print display was solving my problem of line thickness not being visible
Great video. Very useful information that will save me a lot of time at work.
Thank's for the line tips.
My pleasure
@@alex630710 Do you know how to make custom hatch pattern and how to edit? If so I would love to see that video. Thanks!
Hi Alexandre, thanks for the info. This does not seem to work in layout view though.
Thanks a lot, is there an option to place arrow heads as well?
_Arrowhead
That's the command you are looking for. Pick the near edge of a curve and you are done.
Very useful thank you

you save my life
So much helpful! Thanks
My pleasure.
It does not let me type anything in the pattern in linetypes.

Yellow is hard to see,why they chooze that as the selection color!
you can change the color by going to Tools Options and find Appearances in the menu. In there you can change the color for Selected Objects.
