Oh, oh SPONZ,
big light blue areas ....
The Boys with Inkjets will love it.
Yes, I started adding different colored shading to the plans recently for different materials.
- BLUE = FOAM BOARD
- YELLOW = POSTER BOARD
- BROWN = PLYWOOD
- WHITE = GAGES (or anything that isn't a part of the plane)
I like it, I print mine out with the shading. But, I'm still on the fence about keeping it that way if no one else wants it.
I should probably put some instruction for printing in the plans or in this thread. I spent a lot of time setting things up with my templates so people can pick and choose how they want to print their plans. If you click on the Layers button on the left side of the screen, you can see the layers that are included. If you click on the little eye icon next to any layer you can turn that layer off for view AND for printing. So you can turn off the shading and the hatching for the cavities and the 45° bevel cuts if you want to. The user has complete control over what they want to print.
I will look into seeing if there is a way for me to have the PDF file open with some of those layers turned off by default if that is what the community wants.
As always, thanks for the feedback, it really helps and is appreciated.
