There are a lot of tools where knowing surface UV direction isn’t immediate ( or could be more clear and not have to think about it). [add_indicators of UV] Soft Edit Srf doesn’t even have the red/green arrows. I’ve seen similar (and commented) on similar topics, just kind of makes the command s…

Ha-ha, as a colour blind person I see nearly the same colour for both circles. :smiley: When I checked them in Paint.NET with the RGB colour picker, the program clearly says that they are green and red. Why would “McNeel” need to spend a lot of time to alter virtually every menu and icons that invo…

I agree. Let’s hope to see something implemented.

I think the best thing would to implement primary colour coding (less likely to be problematic for the colour blind) with (equally colour coded) small labels on the middle of isoparms or edges.

Black is universal for letters (forums and real paper are no exception), easy to the eyes and works perfectly on nearly all background colours except the very dark ones. :slight_smile: The lines and default surface outlines and isocurves in Rhino are also black for a reason.

The most elegant way of showing direction of the isocurves is gradually changing their brightness (luma) along their length.

The human eye could be easily tricked that way, because it has the tendency to get tricked about the brightness of objects depending of the brightness of the surrounding objects. We constantly adjust our vision depending on the strength (brightness) of the incoming light, so the same colour could lo…

[image] eobet: …the point of all of these threads is that we need something ! I agree. A big dot or a small circle in the UV origin would do the job.

Hmm… thought I’d asked this before. I still maintain that it could/should be an advanced option, if there is reluctance. Lil checkbox, whatever, sure thing. I’m not hearing any negativity at all, so I guess we’re all just wondering what the hold up is. Although, this must be a really ancient reque…

Have you ever wanted to know the maximum deviation from RebuildUV, like in the UV command? That would be quite cool I feel. And for it to be in a menu like Rebuild maybe even too.

I recognize these kinds of discussions…

Personally, I don’t even need color, I could go with this, but I think the point of all of these threads is that we need something!
