Hi scott, for the line width, those are in typographic "points" units where 1 point = 1 / 72 inch

re:
> So my best solution to date has been to individually identify and select the individual VISIBLE LINES

In what software are you doing this deletion step, is it by loading it back into MoI or something else?

Hi scott, so for removing the visible lines, if you go in "Line style options" and set the "Layer" option for Visible lines to "Custom", like this:



Then the visible lines will all be inside of a "visible lines" group and if you can load the SVG into something that can process it in more detail than MoI's own SVG import then you should probably be able to delete them all in one go like here in Inkscape:

Thank you for the quick reply.

I was hoping to use the MOI3d SVG exported file without any additional editing, but consolidating the visible lines into one layer will definitely save one step.

Could you please explain the exported SVG line width setting values? For example, if the line width value is set to ‘1’, what is the corresponding SVG line width in the exported file when opened in another app?

Thanks again.

Scott

Hi Scott,

re:

With the line width value set to ‘1’ that will go into the SVG file as stroke-width="1.0000pt" .

A "point" is a typographic unit frequently used for font heights and other size properties in 2D vector drawing apps.

One point is equal to 1/72 of an inch.

Also you might try setting visible line widths to 0 and see if they are then ignored by your receiving application.

I'll also set it up for the upcoming v5 beta that if you set visible line width to less than zero (for example set it to -1) it will omit them from the export.

Thank you for the 'pixel' line width clarification. Simple and should be cross-platform / app friendly.

Zero line width...
When I set the line width to zero in MoI3D and export to Affinity Designer, AFD includes the visible lines with 0 px width. Your negative line width solution to omit the visible lines sounds perfect... very simple/user friendly!

Thanks again.
