3D View with Outline or Stroke just like SketchUp
Hello, I'm going to try to create a plugin. I want to have an option for 3D view to have a Stroke or Outline just like sketch up. Any ideas on this? I have a background on Programming. I just need some tips and I'll handle the rest =D thank you very much

Hi and welcome on board!
I don't know whats the purpose of your plugin is or how sketchup work but for this kind of task I use walls in place of stroke.
I use this for my Roof generator plugin (very far to be usable).
PROS: If you intend to make it open source I'm available to help.
CONS: I'm not a programmer.

Hello, I'm sorry for the late reply because I can't find this post. I found it in my profile. Anyway I wanted like this just like the Thread sir hansmex has given me.

http://www.sweethome3d.com/images/forum/SweetHome3DExample3FillAndOutline.png

But the problem is it can't be added in a plugin and it's heavy in resource just sir ziolink32 said in that thread and it can only be used when you change the source code of Sweet Home.

@sir Dorin. I need it because I will use it in anime/webcomis because the 3D Photo created in Sweet Home 3D has no Lines so I needed to trace the edges.

What I wanted to accomplish is when I create photo in 3D View, it will automatically draw lines or outlines so that it will look like 2D Drawings.

Here's the sample I want to accomplish

You don't need to recompile the program, just read the end of thread #1472.

Re: 3D View with Outline or Stroke just like SketchUp
Hello I got it now and It's working using his method but it's only


this.drawingMode = DrawingMode.OUTLINE;

is there a way where I can use
this.drawingMode = DrawingMode.FILL_AND_OUTLINE; ?

here's the command line that's working for DrawingMode.OUTLINE
java -Dcom.eteks.sweethome3d.j3d.drawingModeEnabled=true -jar ./Desktop/dev-files/SweetHome3D-6.6.jar

Re: 3D View with Outline or Stroke just like SketchUp
Hello I managed to do what he instructed in the end of thread#1472. Thank you very much to all of you for replying. Although it didn't do what I want to accomplish but I'm still thankful. This is a good reference for me. Thanks =)

drawingMode='OUTLINE' changed to drawingMode='FILL_AND_OUTLINE' in the XML
