on/off YellowLight when editing just one tiny Surface/Edge?

Postby dyepeche » Thu Mar 22, 2012 4:20 am

Dear Tsplines -
is it somehow possible to turn of this yellow highlightning of the mesh ? we you move one surface out of 1000 - it is very very difficult to see the move - during the translation - due to this flashingyellow
you have to move and then let go to see the changes. not so fluid.
someway to turn that off. Just screen shared - and for me the entire tspline mesh was just one yellow mass.
we tested a workflow that we have to do with this client for final detailing over teamviewer screensharing.

and if NOT possible - can we have one color for the selection and another color for the MeshFlashuing when editing the TS -
when we change the color i rhino /display/colors/selection - from yellow to red - everything just flashes red instead...... hmmm... and picking an invisble grey is not really an option - because the selection is not visible..

cheers mads...

PS the interpolate function and results are good - Partner will run test on large meshes this week.- will post a workflow description in the active MODO communitive. They should know it.

This is a Rhino convention.

If you try to move a control point on a NURBS surface then you will see that the surface is displayed twice while you are dragging the control point: the "before" object is drawn in wireframe using the surface color, while the "after" object is drawn with wires in the highlight color (and a shaded surface if you're in a non-wireframe display mode). The default surface color is the layer color, while the default highlight color is yellow. The specific colors can be changed (for example, you can change the highlight color to green if you wish), but the behavior is Rhino's convention and there's not really any way to change it that I know of.

T-Splines just follow this convention. This is what most users expect on Rhino, and if we did anything else then we'd have to teach people a new convention (making T-Splines harder to use for most people). This would also make T-Splines feel more "foreign".

If we're somehow not conforming to Rhino's convention well enough, then there might be something that we could fix. If that's the case, please show us in pictures or videos how we differ. But I'm afraid we can't do much if this is just a problem with the Rhino convention.

Thx Nick - one day it could be cool to have that option - at least for solo tsplines meshes. not really necessary the 999 surfaces light up in yellow - when i have one surface selected and i translate, rotate or scale that single surface.
some rhino details is not really need to be the way things have to be.
appreciate your complete answer. we will check for some workable color combi.

cheers
