Displaying a driving solid face?

[J Coulston]

Is it possible to see a driving solid face shaded with “Show…”? I can only see them in wireframe. I am having difficulty seeing whether I have selected faces that have neighboring faces already selected. If I use show it is impossible to tell whether the face is selected because only the wire frame is displayed.

 

If I use solid drive faces in an operation and Only Display Associated Geometry is selected the entire solid is displayed. I would think it would display only the solid face that is selected not the whole solid.

 

Am I missing something or is this just the way it works.

 

Thanks

I would guess it graffixs card related.

Runnig a NVIDIA FX500 Version 70.78

 

A dive surface will shade with show but a drive solid face will not. Is this correct?

Just updated drivers to 84.26 same results.

My guess is like Hardmill said Video Card.

Shows all the solids here.

John,

 

I see this as well, if I have a surface as a drive surface I see the surface but if I have a solid I see a yellow outlined wireframe.

 

I'm running an ATi card.

John,

It's not your graphics card as others jump to say its MC.

I see the same sort of thing also and I'm running a higher quality graphics card.

Thanks everyone.

 

I now know that I need to send in a enhancement request to shade the solid drive face when using show.
