Please add a feature in SketchUp for iPad that allows users to adjust the thickness of outline/border lines

SketchUp Feature Requests
1

When using SketchUp for iPad, even if Profiles are turned off, the default line thickness is still too thick. Thin objects often get hidden behind the lines, and the overall appearance feels too rough and heavy.

However, turning off outline/border lines completely also makes modeling much more difficult and uncomfortable.

Please add an option in the iPad version to adjust the default outline/border line thickness to a much thinner setting. This would make modeling far more refined, enjoyable, and professional. Thank you very much for considering this feature.

Are you adjusting profiles / edges?

Thank you for your response! I really appreciate it.

However, even after making adjustments, the edges are still too thick.

I’m sincerely asking you to please add a feature that allows users to make the edge thickness much thinner. This is something I genuinely hope for.

Thank you for considering this request! :face_holding_back_tears:

edges are one pixel thick.

if you turn off the profiles (they can be thicker), then all you have is 1pixel thin lines.
you can’t really make lines thinner than 1pixel… but you can turn them off.

can you share a screenshot of the issue with us ?

This is what I see on my (old) iPad Pro:

Do you perhaps have some settings enabled that are changing the resolution / graphics?

Can you share a screen shot or two?

It looks fine when viewed up close, but even from a slightly farther distance, the object becomes completely covered by the thick edges.

I can’t fully turn off the edges either, because that makes modeling much more difficult :sob::sob:

Even with the edges set to the thinnest option, this is still how it looks… Please, I sincerely hope you can add a feature that allows the edges to be made even thinner :face_holding_back_tears:

What your screenshots show is that you have two or more parallel edges close together. As you zoom out they appear to merge. This is a limitation of the display, not a problem with SketchUp. You could manage that by hiding some of the edges but if there’s to be an improvement it needs to be made to the display by making the pixels smaller.

I know what you mean. Yes, for dense sets of edges like this, there’s not much you can do for screen images while working in the program. For final output, one hack is to double our quadruple the image size. For example, if you want an image of 1080 pixels, then output to 2160 or more, and then down sample to 1080 in an image editor afterward. That effectively gives you finer lines and finer control over line weight.

You can also use edge color by material in styles and use grey to simulate lighter lines, but I can’t say I’ve done that much.

A simple illustration of what @RTCool describes which I made many years ago. This uses a sketchy line style but the idea is exactly the same. This is the same sketchy style for all five resolutions.

You could make those edges thinner and have the same problem… this is no different than on the desktop version. Hi-poly models with hundreds / thousands of edges within a single small component do this…

Do you need that much detail in your sink for your purposes?

I see! Got it. Thank you so much for your help!
