Question about the Rhino 6 BETA work window appearance and settings

[Tim_Lopes]

The sizes of the surface edges in Rhino Beta 6 are much larger then in Rhino 5. And when I pick a line or curve the control points seem to be ON as default. Where do I change these settings?

[wim (Wim Dekeyser)]

Control points on:
You can turn that off with these settings:

Rhino Options > Mouse > Selecting > Allow selecting objects with points on

and

Rhino Options > Mouse > Selecting > Turn on control points when selecting a curve, light or annotation

Edge thickness:
I am supposing that you have those set to 1 in the display mode. For the time being, you can use the following test command:

testWireThicknessScale

See this thread:

Line thickness

@Troels_Madsen , @DanBayn, @BrianM , Steve added a test command for the next release- testWireThicknessScale so you can play and find the right setting - looks like maybe .8-.9 range might be v5-like, but if you can, please have a try and see what looks best for you - let us know!. The command does not autocomplete, you must type the whole thing. It appears this is not persistent, so for now, if you find a setting you like, you can add a macro to your start-up commands in Options > General so…

@wim

testWireThicknessScale

Thank you. Both suggestions worked great. Control points are now off and the TestWireThicknessScale command did the trick. All I did was turn it on.

Thanks again.

@Tim_Lopes

All I did was turn it on.

Do note that you’ll have to turn it on every time.
And that the developers would like you to let them know which value you like best.

[Tim_Lopes]

Will do. For now, Scale=0.5 works just fine.
Thank you.
