Is there a way to set the “Show Isocurve Surface” property to be off by default for new surfaces?
I prefer it to be always off and only turn it on if I happen to need to see the isocurve for some reason, which is almost never, it’s tedious to keep turning them off, especially if the surfaces are all in blocks already.
That’s not possible, no. If you pretty much always have that off, I’d modify the display mode(s) to hide those. You can then quickly make them appear again by using the Display panel or make a new display mode that you only use to check the isocurves when needed.
