Getting started guide
Just stumbled upon this project and I think it'll be really useful for me, but I have a hard time getting started, i.e. rendering anything visible. Therefore I'd like to suggest to add a minimal walkthrough to the docs site.
Things I discovered I needed which I found unintuitive (not bad design, just in need of a hint for new users):
- You need to add lines manually (e.g. "Dynamic Line Group")
- Rendering happens via specific buttons, not Blender rendering
- Most render settings are in the scene tab, not the render tab
Things I haven't discovered yet:
- Setting a white background to actually see something
- Setting a customized drawing style throughout
- Deleting dimensions
- How to make "hidden" edges invisible or dashed
- ~~Add a dimension to one edge, but don't change the rendering/line style of the object~~ Properly and reliably adding dimensions
TL;DR
It would be great to have a walkthrough how to create this picture from a blank project:
