Hello,
I know that it is not a bug, so I am asking for this as a feature request:

When an object is switched to “Line Rendering”, the Morphing from Shape Keys have no effect. Wireframe rendering is not an option because it renders the triangulated Mesh.
I missed this feature in various projects already, since I do a lot of technical drawings and lines are just inevitable there.
I hope I am not the only and its not too complicated.

Cheers

Hi
Justin,
I am also from a technical background & what you say is not wrong.
I understand the pain correctly.
One thing already exists which is really great that the dynamic cut section ability. Fortunately, it is there but if this line thing comes up then it would be great.
One wish I have is if the line can be shown increasing in length with its turns and beds would be a value addition too.

Hi,
I’m going to add this to our TODO list, though I’d say it’s not quite easy to implement.

Hi there!
I also use a lot of line rendering in my Application, and as you mention the basic line rendering straight out of Blender is often too limited.
However, with a bit of Javascript coding, it is possible to implement other “hidden” features that are included in the V3D libraries under the hood, like here, or here (the dashed lines are very useful!).
