 These line types will work for most scenes. However, there will be times when you need a different combination of line types. You can check as few or as many as you like, to get your desired results. These line types will work for most scenes. However, there will be times when you need a different combination of line types.

 Notice how the cube has clear creases in its surface, but how the sphere does not. If the object has creases that are clearly visible in Cinema 4D, the **Creases** option will create a line on this part of the object. Generally, only rectangular objects have creases. Notice how the cube has clear creases in its surface, but how the sphere does not.

 Creates a line where two objects intersect. This can be seen with the two cubes below. If **Surface Intersections with other object** is enabled, this creates a line where the two surfaces intersect. This is one area where Lasershow Converter 4D is superior to systems that only do hidden-line removal. This system is capable of not only hiding hidden-lines, but also producing lines where two objects intersect, which gives a far more realistic 3D appearance.  Creates a line where two objects intersect.
