grahambuilt Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 I have a design with a hip roof and metal roofing applied. The elevations look good but when I send them to layout the ridge lines on the hips look like a serrated knife edge. Anyone have any suggestions please?

SCI_Design Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Depending on the render style that you used in sending the elevation to the layout (watercolor, painting, etc) the elevation will show really pixelated. It will actually print to a higher quality. This is done to allow the layout to still function at a fast speed. So the jagged elevation is simply a rough preview if you will. I've attached a few examples to show the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 If plan speed is not an issue for you and you need to be able to clearly see your illustration in a live view of layout, zoom way way in and hit refresh as the quality seems to be based on screen resolution. Hope that is the situation you are dealing with and is helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justmejerry Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 If it isn't the live view problem, it may be your ridge cap that you are using. Could still be default shingle one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northriver Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 You need to change the direction of you ridge cap 90 deg and/or and specify it to be a sheet material in the material DBX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 go ahead and try to print it to "PDF" , a lot of times those lines go away in the final print. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahambuilt Posted May 2, 2017 Author Share Posted May 2, 2017 Thanks for the help everyone, I spoke with CA and it seems I had the resolution set to the lowest setting, I reset it to high and then zoomed in and refreshed each of the views like chopsaw was saying and now they look great.
