+1 This would make meshes less blinding when selected.

Yeah, I agree - I’ve grumbled a bit about this as well…

The biggest pain is when i have big hatches on 2d drawings and i want to select some and then it turns out that for eg. grass hatch is under whole drawing area so i see nothing and need to click blinded or delete one after another :frowning:

Hatches may be a different story. I may be able to hook up something pretty quick to see how it feels to just highlight the outlines of hatches.
