Title: Instances visible in wireframe mode at creation time?
Post by: rubberDuck on October 26, 2015, 12:12:26 am
Hi IStonia.
Would it be possible to make instances visible in wireframe mode at creation time - when the Instance Creation Options is displayed on the screen?

It is now.

During creation, Instancies can be shown in Wire_mesh, but not in Wire_frame.

I am confused. Can you show me the current behavior and requested behavior?

I am confused.

So are the majority of new users.

In the viewports, you have display/rendering options(icons) that include:-
Shaded + Wire_frame
Shaded
Wire_frame

When creating instancies, due to optimization you made, instancies during creation are shown without edges. So if you change the viewport display/rendering option to "Wire_frame, you will not see the instancies as they are created.
If you want to see the instancies as "wire" and not solid during creation, the only current option is to change display to "Rendering Options >> Wire_mesh selected/All"

From request made, I presume that it is requested that the user can simply change the render display via viewport option to "Wire_frame" and still see the instancies as they are created, but that of course could lose the optimization and cause issue during creation.

You may have missed the update version I posted on  another thread.

On this version the edges should be shown on instances during creation.
