robdyck Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Does anyone have some layout tips or suggestions for printing exterior elevations, where the house is a very dark color. It's one of these all-black farmhouse styles! And I don't need to print in color, but if I could....! What I'd really like is a tool to fade the colors in Vector View, but not the lines. I'm thinking of a layout box sandwich...color for the bottom bun, cad mask of partial white for the middle, and lines w/ no color for the top bun.

robdyck Posted January 22, 2021 Author Share Posted January 22, 2021 Just gotta make sure the top view (just lines) doesn't have the shadows turned on! Hmmm, not too sure about this...I think it might defeat the purpose. What should be black is of course now gray. And that's a lotta paint to get wrong, despite all the labelling!

lbuttery Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Rob: no matter what you do someone is capable of screwing it up a friend had a homeowner client who left the cans of paint in the room before going to work client gets home and finds the cans still sitting there and the walls painted another color do what you need to do and leave good notes - warnings - etc discuss it verbally - have them sign something even then ???

Rpadge Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 I would do B & W typical elevations and a color rendering on the cover page (or other sheet) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
