How about a different color for the halo and highlight for breps when edge only?

That'll be great, I'm confident that you will make this work smooth and logical.


One other thing I noticed is when one brep is edge only and the other has faces during a Boolean operation you end up in a mixed state, which I believe could be misleading.

Example:

We start off with two solid blocks, one with edges only the other faces and edges.


When we do a Boolean Union we get this.


Boolean Diff


without looking at the object properties panel one would think that it produced a joined surface with missing faces, do you think after a Boolean operation that all faces should be showing for the new brep ?
