Point Visualization

by Andy Payne

Nov 9, 2010

There may be an easy solution to my problem (and I may have overlooked it) but is there a way to change the visualization of points in the viewport?  Currently, points show up as an "X" but I'm working on a project which requires many points that are spaced close together... so the visualization in the viewport shows up just as one big mass of "X's".  Ideally, I'd like to render them as small squares (like in the Rhino/Appearance/Options) dialogue.  Anyone know if we can override the X for a smaller point size?
Thanks,
Andy

    No, you can't. Sorry. Not without doing the drawing yourself anyway. You could create a script that maintains a single static Rhino.Display.CustomDisplay, populate it with your points and then it will draw itself in all viewports until you destroy it.
