Why won't the lines show up after i make a shape? The lines show up in the project but not when i render it. How can i fix this?

It's actually not a problem, it's the way AS works. Lines are not showed on final render because this are "construction curves", they are invisible until you paint them (in other word, until you create a shape based on that construction curves).

Maybe you should take a look on the tutorial, I'm sure it explains it better than me.

You should try to explain better your problem. Right now I can't see what are you talking about.
A screenshot would be good, an anme file would be better.

Try adjusting the line width on your shape with your line width tool.

If you have it on zero, you will be able to see the outline on the project but not on the final render.

my line width is one. The pictures are the first two. And you can see that the lines don't show up when it is rendered but they are there in the work space

Make sure the stroke is enabled for that shape. And try making the stroke thicker if it is and see if it renders.

that didn't work, but I found a possible reason. I think it's because I made the houses so big it couldn't see the lines, but I scaled it down and zoomed withe camera, and it still wouldn't show. And if I do a different layer and draw something else they show.

I'm just doing it over. thanks for trying to help.
