Visibility of Prop Points

Visibility of Prop Points

I have to agree with Jabbar here. I think the whole thing can be
improved if we can control the size of the points that are displayed.
(Forgive me if we can already do this but I can not find any control).

On dense meshes I find it hard to see the form of the object because all
I can see is a scattering of red and blue dots and that hinders the
modeling process.

Along those lines, I think the display of unselected points in 95% of
cases is largely unnecessary. In my experience, models are usually made
up of quads so the position of a point is already known by where the two
edges join.

Just my thoughts on the subject.

Yes, it is causing problems for us. We are registering dense geometry
to a background plate. We are attempting to use proportional modeling
and want to see only the 3d geometry so that we can line it up.
Unfortunately it gets very cluttered when the proportional points are
on.

Thanks,

Jabbar,

This is done by the tool and there is currently no way to turn
it off.

Is it causing problems for you?

Subject: Visibility of Prop Points

Hello,

I can't seem to find any way to disable the visibility of the
proportional points. For example if you select a polymesh, tag some
points, activate Prop manipulation mode, you will see red points that
gradate to black based on the amount of influence. Even if I have the
3D geometry view off as well as all of the point view options I still
see the proportional falloff points.

Any Ideas?

Thanks,

-Jabbar
