Adjust Line Weight in Display Mode

Hi, I want to make the outline of an object thinner. In the display mode options, which one is controlling the line weight in the view?

Thank you in advance.

Hello- you can set the object or its layer to have a custom line type with the width you like - is that what you mean?

Hey Pascal, sorry, no that is not what I mean. I tried to adjust the line thickness in the display mode settings. But it seems nothing affected the line thickness I showed in the image.

Hi Hali - is the object a mesh then? Can you post a simple example showing what you want to do - just a box or something and the display mode (Export from the display mode page)

Hey Pascal,

I want to adjust the overall looking of the line thickness in a display mode. Doesn’t matter which display mode. I tried adjusted the mesh edge thickness, but it doesn’t really impact what I see from the viewport. It is a NURBS cube in the image below.

Hi Hali- for mesh objects that should indeed do it, but if your object is not a mesh it is considered a ‘surface’ or a SubD, in this case it looks like a polysurface or extrusion, which are both controlled by the Surface settings in the dsiplay mode.

-Pascal

got it. Thank you Pascal. One more question, one more question, how does Rhino distinguish NURBS and Mesh?

Can I understand it this way, anything created with NURBS method will be considered as “surface”.

Hi Hali - see

Got it, thank you Pascal.
