Plotting shaded 3d Objects

Hi,

I have a solid I have created in 3D and shaded using "Gouraud shading". I am trying to print it to the JPEG printer in colour and fully shaded but when I do this it comes out as a wireframe.
What command do I need to use so I can produce a properly shaded JPEG?

Thanks

Dave

 

In the plot menu, on the right side, there is a drop down box titled "Shaded
viewport options". Make sure that is set to "As Displayed". That "should"
do the trick, though I normally don't handle shaded plots here, being a
survey draftsman.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. Forgot to say Im using version 2002 of AutoCAD.
Unfortunately I don't seem to have that option in my plot menu.
I take it this is the File>Plot box?

 

My mistake for assuming that you were on 2004. Yes, it's in the Plot
dialog, on the Plot Settings tab (in 2004). I've got 2002 at home, but that
doesn't do you much good when I'm at work.......

 

I plot JPEG'S through Bluebeam Pushbutton plus, which converts DWG`S to JPEG'S or PDF, You can download a free 14 day trial @ www.bluebeam.com

 

thanks, I'll try it.
