WebThis glitch happens for me from 2.81 and on. If that option is turned on, you’ll only see the parts of the model that are facing you, but if you disable it, you’ll be able to see any of the elements behind the model and you’ll also.

In Edit Mode, when a mode other than the Wireframe display is active, right next to the icons on the 3D View header for selecting vertices, edges, or faces is an icon with a little cube that has marked vertices, with a back side that is not visible. Youll be able to select all the polygons, even the ones that would otherwise be hidden by other geometry/objects. Sometimes I just want to grab all the vertices I know are in an area quickly, to then scale then in the X, Y or Z quickly. This is not possible with the Solid display, which only lets you interact with the parts of the model that are facing you. In Edit mode, in the Solid mode, I cannot seem to find the toggle for 'limit selection to visible'. It isn’t accessible through the default UI right now, but it has the proper tooltips and translations for UI integration. Very often it happens that I forget which mode I am in (Xray or not) and I accidentally perform operation only on mesh element selected from one side, not all sides, resulting in deformed model and having to revert to older save and re-do the work again. There are actually two different visibility settings that impact what you see when xray is enabled: xrayalpha for face opacity, and backwireopacity for occluded wireframe opacity. select Solid shading mode deselect 'limit selection to visible' switch to material shading mode Now the 'limit selection to visible' is still disabled. It does it with every mesh that I worked on.When you have the display mode in Wireframe ( Z) you are able to select vertices, edges, or faces that are in front of the model, as well as those that are behind it. This deficiency really costs me time every day. select 'limit selection to visible' switch to material shading mode Now the 'limit selection to visible' button disappears, but the visibility is as before. I am trying crop/delete some material from the top part of the skirt mesh(since the male sim torso is longer than a female sim torso, some of the skirt mesh show through/glitches whenever he wears a male tank top.) Anyways, I am working in Blender, when I go to highlight a section of the skirt mesh in the front to delete it, somehow my model is transparent and it also highlight a huge selection in the back so when I delete it then I end up with gaps in the back. Edit : its the limit selection to visible option. I found out (today) that, in Blender 2.8 (& presumably beyond), you can control visibility of objects in animations either in viewports and/or. My current project is to convert a female cc high-waisted skirt to work on males/sims with masculine frame, so far, I have succeeded in replacing the female legs and feet that came attached with the skirt with male legs/feet so there were no clipping in the ankles. Normals did go through a big change in the 2.8x release and required some changes to how the export works. I have some experience working in Blender, but I still fairly new to mesh-editing. And yes, I think just turning off transparency in Edit+xray mode for inactive objects would solve the decreased clarity compared to 2.

But I can live without it if it’s problematic to include. These are default settings in Blender 2.8. I agree force off is not essential, and I included it for completeness and pleasing symmetry. I have just a simple question that I haven't been able to find the answer to. In Blender 2.8s UI I cannot see what I am selecting. By the way, Limit selection to visible is equal to xray1.
