Visual feedback?


#1

Hi,
I Installed the new formware version (1165) and liked most of the new features (adding txt is so great !) , but I dislike the change made “support location spheres”.
They’re way too big when you got to place fine supports…
I completly lose the possibility to locate the edges of objects to place supports on the correct spot ( fe 3dprinted teeth)

Is there a way to reduce the visual representation of those spheres in size, so they do not obstruct my view ??

HI GVDP,

mm you are right.

I switch that from the original ‘opengl’ generated points, because I wanted more consistency with the auto-supporter. The original dots where not in ‘real’ 3d but only 2d, so they worked a bit different on various systems; on some systems they were square.
however, afterwards i fixed that glitch but i hard already changed these to dots… i will see if I can either

  • adjust the size of the sphere to the tip to place. that’s probably nicest
  • get back the old disks

I’m fixing some small other glitches and will release a patch in a few days.
