When the edge of a polygon lines up perfectly to an ortho grid line does it hide behind for everyone?

Because I will be modelling and repeatedly get freaked out seeing edges missing. Then I have to remember oh its just the grid lining up.

Is there an option or something I can do so the grid will always display behind the wireframe?

(and I know I can turn off the grid…… but that would be self defeating :shock: )

Hi Warren,

Try fiddling with the wire width in the display options (hit d in the viewport).

1.5 fixes the normal grid lines…. the origin line doesnt stop hiding until 3.0

Thanks for the tip Ed.
:wink:

( would it be possible to add a rfe for ortho to always stay behind cuz with dense meshes thicker wireframes make it hard to see whats going on)

If you take a look in your display properties in the viewport tab, you'll see you have the ability to offset the grid. I set mine to -1000 in the view axis for each of my perspective views and saved it as default. No more problems.

If you like to snap to your grid in ortho views with depth, doing this will cause you trouble , so watch for that.
