Displaying Furtive Elements Temporarily

You can temporarily display furtive elements such as control points, segmentation, iso-curves and free edges when creating or modifying geometry.

Before you begin:
  • Open an existing 3D shape.
  • Select the options in the Me > Preferences > App Preferences > 3D Modeling > Styling > FreeStyle Shape Design, Handles tab, Furtive Display Variants section.

    Control points are displayed in blue on the matched curve.

    Note: Multi-selection is possible, meaning that if several elements are involved in the current command, for example, if there were two curves to be projected using the Project Curve command, the control points are displayed on all the resulting elements.

    The Extrapolation dialog box appears.

    Note: The Furtive Display icon is now available in the App Options panel.
