Transparancy yellow when selecting faces
« on: March 24, 2020, 10:02:17 am »
Hello Steve,

I wonder if it would be a feasible idea to make the selection color a bit transparent when in wireframe mode, because the selection color blocks the view when you make use of a reference image with certain edits like for example inset faces.

greetings.

It should already be transparent, with or without using shaders.

Helllo STeve,

That's odd. On my computer it is solid (see attachment).

My system is windows 10 64 bit
GeForce MX150

Ahh, I see what's happening. You need to check [X] Transparent Faces  in the WireFrame Views section of the File->ConfigureUI dialog.

Some graphics chips used to draw the transparent faces incorrectly so I added an option to turn them off. It's supposed to be ON by default but maybe that's not working.

Yes! Solved! I'm sorry but I probably have been messing with the configurations.

Thanks again!
