Following up on this 9 year old request , is there a chance we will see a modern mesh selection highlight in our lifetimes ? Here’s Rhino vs Blender for example : [260224_IMG_Somewhat impractical selection highlight] I’m not saying Rhino’s highlight is “stupid” or “silly”, but let’s just say it’s…

I’m not sure what you mean by pointing me to a discussion that has 396 posts. Am I supposed to read them all and discover somewhere in there something related to my request ?

If you click the shared link, it takes you to what you’re looking for. This way it should be even clearer.

[image] brvdln: This way it should be even clearer. All I need to do is learn Italian first… Now if you’re trying to tell me you can hack a display mode to create a mesh outline, that’s not what I’m after. I want the outline to appear when a mesh is selected, like in most modern software ex…

You don’t need to learn anything — you just need to watch how a dense mesh can be displayed in Rhino in the video I recorded for you. While I was recording, I was also looking at other things, so the voices you hear in the background are unrelated. If you expect it to work exactly like in Blender,…

OK, so you’re suggesting a workaround. Why it doesn’t work for me : I don’t need the whole mesh shading to turn yellow, but I DO need the wireframe for many mesh-related tasks.

The solution found so far is the only workable one. I don’t think you’ll find any other real alternatives. You need to enable or disable it in the Display section, on the right side, under “Mesh wires.” “To simulate the switch” in Blender from Object Mode (where you see the selection overlay) to E…

Err… I know that mesh wires can be turned on or off. This thread is about selection highlight and the lack of silhouette highlight in Rhino. On another topic, you seem to be doing amazing stuff !

The first image shows a personal sculpting project I made with ZBrush, combined with some elements generated with Grasshopper. The second image, actually, is from an industrial project that I probably shouldn’t have shown. It was simply the only example I had at the moment that partially explained …

[IMG-20260304-WA0023] Hi .Try this option; it works well, but the issue is that it treats everything as curves and surfaces. It should be restricted to meshes only.

At the moment I’m not in front of my PC. Could you share an image of how it should appear? If it opens like this, it’s the first link I shared that takes you to that type of view, but it works for surfaces. [image] Mesh selection highlight Rhino for Windows …
