QUESTION

I cannot see any patterns in my vector camera views and overviews. How can I solve this problem?

ANSWER

Patterns are used to represent materials in Orthographic view or using the Vector Rendering Technique, and can be thought of as a kind of fill style composed of CAD lines.  The display of patterns in Vector Views can be turned on or off, depending on your needs. 

 

To toggle patterns in Orthographic or Vector Views

  1. Click on 3D> Toggle Patterns  from the menu, while a Orthographic View is active.
