Not show hidden lines when select an object

Is it possible not to highlight hidden lines when select an object?
When i have thin object and trying to copy or move them its very confusing and its very easy to snap to wrong point.
Thank you.

Hi @ar00302, you might try to disable below setting from the options dialog:

I already have this disabled. I don’t see any difference.

For me the hidden lines only show up at higher zoom values; they disappear at lower ones.

Hi @ar00302, that option only disables the snapping for hidden geometries. If you want to disable the highlight as well there is this under Options Advanced:

Rhino.Options.ModelAid.EnableOsnapHighlight

(Edit: this setting is equal to “Object snap highlight” in the Options/Modeling Aids)

but be aware that this setting disables the highlight for visible objects too. By default (True) it behaves like below:

OsnapWidthHighlight

Once set to False, you will not see the highlighed face boundary once the End snap is performed:

OsnapWithoutHighlight

Ok now I understand. But in my rhino 8 does not seem to work. Beside that the bigger problem is when you select objects.
All the edges are highlighted. If its not only one object, then I always need to zoom a lot to be sure i snap to the correct point.
And many times i need to use a “zoom selected” or “zoom window” command in the middle of the other command to be able to zoom so much.

Hi @ar00302,

is see now. When the object is selected all hidden edges are displayed and so Rhino allows to snap to them even when “Snap to occluded objects” is disabled. This also is the case in Rhino 7.

can this be solved, or are we stuck with it for ever?

For me its very frustrated. Even with simple objects sometimes its very difficult to snap.

hi folks and OP:
maybe you mean the shade-highlight toggle…
turned off:

turned on:

and toggle your cull control polygon backfaces:

Snapping should be much easier for you with these two settings. I know it doesn’t solve all the issues though. Doesn’t even solve the OP example in video but it does help for visuals.
