Using Hidden Lines

This tutorial explains how to use Pencil+ 2 Hidden Lines.

  1. Go to [Rendering] menu / [Effects] / [Environment and Effects] dialog / [Effects] tab / [Add] button / [Add Effect] dialog, select [Pencil+ 2 Line] and press [OK].


  2. Push the [Add] line set button in the [Base Parameters] roll out to add a line set.

  3. Press the [Add] object button in the [Base Parameters] roll out and add an object on which to draw lines.
