Hi Peter - yes, MoI uses DirectX to do the 3D rendering for its viewport display.

Hi Michael, is there some way to show selected objects in a different color than hovered ones?

Regards,

Marc

Hi Marc, you can tweak those colors too if you want. In moi.ini these are available:

[View]
SurfaceUnselectedColor=255,255,255
SurfaceUnselectedTransitionColor=255,255,208
SurfaceSelectedTransitionColor=255,255,128
SurfaceSelectedColor=239,239,0


The "Transition" ones are the ones for hovering. SurfaceUnselectedTransitionColor is the one used when you hover over an unselected object, and SurfaceSelectedTransitionColor is the one used when you hover over a selected object, where clicking it would unselect it.

They are used for more than just hovering directly over the surface though, they are also used in some other situations where clicking down would change the selection, like if you move over an edge.

Thank you Michael for pointing out these adjustments. If I understand correctly these are only for surfaces, there is no adjustments for edges and curves hover state?

Regards,

Marc

Hi Marc, you can adjust the color of curves and edges by using these 2 entries:

[View]
LineUnselectedColor=0,0,0
LineSelectedColor=255,255,32


Hovering for edges and curves works slightly differently than for surfaces. When you hover over a curve, the curve itself doesn't change color, instead there is a halo type glow that is drawn around it as an extra thing.

If your curve is unselected, the halo will be in the selected color, showing that if you click down that curve will become selected.

If you curve is selected, the halo will be in the unselected color, showing that if you click down that curve will become unselected.

So for curves, those 2 settings above control both the normal appearance and hovering.

Thanks!
