Mesh selection outline only

Rhino
1

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to select a mesh and only have the outline shown so I can see the mesh without all the vertices lit up? Thanks!

Currently not possible.

hope they do sort this on V8 as viewing scan files are very difficult view

Hi Paul -
This is not currently on the Rhino 8 list but I added this thread to RH-31739 Selected object highlighting - more options

Hi @Paul_Sparrow, you might try to enable below option for the desired display mode:

To get rid of mesh wires, you can turn them Off from the display panel or in the display mode as well:

Any update on this? Working with a heavy mesh as a reference, would help to only see the outline.

Hi Frank -

As you can see, RH-31739 was briefly on the 9.0 list but is now back on the Future list.

In the meanwhile, you could see if running TestSilhouetteHighlighting helps in your case. This is a test command, and experimental as such.

That’s what I’m after just a pity that only works with the part actively selected.

Hi Frank -

For mouse-over highlighting, you could try the following advanced setting:

Rhino.Options.General.MouseOverHighlight
