Edge Outlines not showing for gentle or shallow slopes

Greetings everyone. We are encountering an issue where we have very gentle angles and slope the edge outlines are not showing up in Enscape. We viewed it in all quality settings Draft thru Ultra and it’s the same result. I’ve set the outlines in Enscape to 100% just to exaggerate the problem we are having.

In the photos below, notice that the connecting outlines don’t show in certain areas. We’ve found that any slope 1/.5 or shallower does not show up. Any steeper slope will show up no problem. I also moved the sun down so you can easily see the slopes.

We are having this same issue with a lot of the new roof designs as they utilize some shallow sloping and angles as well. Any help on this?

Could you briefly reupload the screenshots please via the attachment tab? :slight_smile: Otherwise, it’s also usually possible to just Copy - Paste the image into your existing or next reply.

Here you go!


I have had this same issue with subtle slopes. Particularly when we are trying to make very detailed doors and furniture. I tried having the geometry as separate pieces or even with different materials and it still doesn’t show the boundary lines on soft slopes.

I would guess enscape uses the normals passed across from soften/smooth in SketchUp.

Try selecting the geometry and decreasing it below 20Degrees in SketchUp

Unfortunately, this was not it. You can see the change in skp but not in enscape.

I tried it, it does a similar thing for me.

It looks as if there is something that determines what should be an outline and what shouldn’t be based upon a number of factors
