Professional looking 3D layout

[trudels]

Hi guys, this is my first post here.

I have a question for you. I need to do a layout of one of our products for a presentation. I don't want to use a render for this. I want something that looks similar to the attached image.

Do you guys have any idea how I could achieve that (with solidworks or photoshop or any other program I may need)?

In the 2D drawing, the Line Font (colour, thickness, type) can be changed to give that effect.

Creating Layers (in the drawing) with pre-assigned line properties will help.

Side note: I'm not sure there's a better software out there that provides the presentation effects combined with the engineering functionality that's included in SolidWorks.

trudels,

It looks like you have two separate assemblies there.

You can output each from SolidWorks to a JPEG file, then process the JPEGs using Adobe Photoshop, or the GIMP. With SolidWorks images, I could definitely do your graphic with the GIMP.

As shown, your two chairs overlap. Perhaps this is not absolutely necessary. Attach each drawing view from separate models. Use layers to manipulate the line weights and colours on one or both views. You can manipulate line weights and colours by clicking on the individual lines, but this is a lot more work.

I have created drawings in SolidWorks, saved as .dwg, then imported into Autodesk Impression for this effect.

Thanks for your comments. I never really used layers in solidworks, so i'll read on that. I'll also try autodesk impression.

Thanks a lot
