Description
7 hours non-stop, 10PM to 5 AM. x.xAnyways, this was the biggest thing I have done in AutoCAD.
Oh, and near the end, I think my video card blew and my computer had a hard time deciding what was the front side so it made the whole thing look like it was hollowed out :/

If AutoCAD is capable of real-time rendering, I'd assume that having the wire frame visible in shaded view is a standard display option. At least, SolidWorks allows it so that you can more easily apply snaps to points of an object in the editing plane without having to rotate the view to see exactly where you're dragging your lines.

That image you see is a compilation of many images.
Also, (well for me), to avoid uncertainty I still rotate what I'm working on to make sure I actually DO snap the right point.

Clearly it's a compilation. I was just remarking on your statement about making the model appear "hollow". Which, I really don't see.
Does AutoCAD really make you work in gray space?

Nope, I just set the program to be gray so it's less strain on my eyes while I spend 7 hours working on it.
Oh you're not supposed to see the "hollowness". I was saying that I was working on it for such a long, unbreaking stretch of time that my computer failed, and it started rendering the backfaces of the model instead of the front.
The views you see above are the few angles where the model looks right.

So, what, are these renders something like a 2D projected ray-trace of the wire frame?
There's a strong possibility I'm just confusing myself.

Nope, it's a failure of my video card.

The detail on this is amazing. I can tell that you put a lot of work into making it look good.

Thanks!
I probably broke tons of standards in drafting though :-p
