Visibility of Prop Points

Visibility of Prop Points

Jabbar,

Thanks for the explanation. I have a few more questions to help me
understand the scope of the problem better.

If proportional point display is causing a problem wouldn't the
"standard" point display while editing the model also cause problems?

Or is it the fact that the proportional points are always drawn on top
of the model (even in shaded mode) causing the problem? (i.e. because
proportional points behind the model are also being drawn)

Thanks.

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?

  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
