NextPreviousHomeHow to draw a simple straight line after the new update?

lightads | a year ago | 5 comments | 435 views

Version 15.8.02 seems to operate differently than previous version. I can't use 'Writer" on PNG files anymore.
How do I draw a straight line in bluff. Do I have to make an EPS file in Bixangelo of a straight line?

The picture layer never had a WRITER prop, maybe you used a text or sketch layer.

To draw a 2D straight line, I would use a picture layer using White.png and fine-tune it with the SIZE prop.

To draw a 3D straight line, I would use a sketch layer using an EPS of a straight line and fine-tune it with the WRITER and PEN SIZE props.

More creative ways include:
-a text layer using the letter I, scaled with the TEXT SIZE prop
-a vector layer using Square.eps, scaled with the TEXT SIZE prop
-a picture layer using the CUBE style, scaled with the SIZE prop

Bixelangelo has been designed for something else, but yes it can do straight lines as well.

Michiel, I really dig the road on the roller coaster. Great idea. I'll have to try that one. Thank you.

In version 15.8.0.5 you can find the file Sketch_StraightLine.eps in the BluffTitler\Media\Sketches folder.

To load this file, choose the menu item LAYER > ADD LAYER > ADD SKETCH LAYER...
