I agree. It would be nice if section plane labels would render as Vector. Currently there’s no option other than setting Display Quality to High which probably doesn’t do much if the labels are tiny.
As a work around in the mean time you could make a copy of the viewport with the labeled sections outside the paper spaceoutside the paper space and enlarge it enough so you can read the labels.
Yes, more involved but it looks nice. I personally don’t bring my section planes into LO and use a scrapbook section tag. It gives me much more flexibility with the page layout in more complex projects with oblique angles or larger homes requiring multiple pages to show the whole floor plan.
Thanks for getting the book. It will certainly help you take the plunge!
I am using scrapbook section keys in LO too…but when I am placing the LO Keys I obviously have to reference the SU section plane(s) and depending how I have the section planes isolated in SU they vary in size/legibility.
Current drawing I am working on has a pool house that is small of course, and I have the SU section planes inside the pool house group. So these section planes are 20% the size of main house/garage section planes, making their labeling impossible to read in LO. (@ 1/4” Scale)
Or…are you individually grouping 3D text along with your section plane(s) inside SU? (Maybe this is it)
Anyhow…now that I type this…maybe I need to re-read the chapter of your book…and probably why you have a dedicated SU file for sections.
Hi Charlie, I only use scrapbooks. What you can do to ease alignment is to set your sections on a layer in SU you can easily turn off and on in LO. Then you can place the section tag for layout directly in the exact location, then shut the section tag off in LO or hit “reset”.
Net-Net I think we are all somewhat on same page with this…would really be nice if the Section Plane labeling in SU were at least vector renderable (if a word?) in LO.
I have attached an image to illustrate my specific situation and reason for starting thread. (for the spectator’s)
Maybe this should be a feature request if not already suggested.
Thanks again!
Charlie
Edit
SU Section Planes:
Large = Main Model
Medium = Garage
Small = Pool House
