Often do we hear this question? How do I do a line showing render? I have been trying out SketchUp for a few months now and people have been doing some renders that have only black lines on white background. Can you guys please help me? Today, we will try to answer this question.
In this article, we will handle how to make a line rendering from SketchUp and Vray.
We’ve imported a model from the 3D Warehouse to show you what steps you have to take. There are two significant strides to move toward this inquiry. Initially, we’re demonstrating what you’ll have to do in Sketchup.
Make a Line Rendering with Sketchup
Window > Default Tray > Show Tray.
Open the default tray by exploring to “window” > “default tray” and select “show tray.” You likewise need to ensure “styles” are checked.

For the present, we simply chose “edges” and “profiles.

When you have the entirety of the settings chose, you can export your file. Go to “file” > “export” and select “2D Graphic.” Type for the sake of your file and snap “export.”
Make a Line Rendering with Vray
On the off chance that you need to take your file to the following level, you can utilize Vray (or actually some other rendering programming) and Photoshop to overlay the linework on a rendering. Snap on the “render intuitive” button in Sketchup to open Vray.
Settings > Material Override.
