Hi Danny, also I've got the options working now for being able to change how edges are displayed.

There will be a new setting for this under Options / View :



There are 2 choices under the drop-downs there: "By style", and "Fixed color".

The default is "By style" which means that edges and surfaces will display in their style color.

If you set it to the "Fixed color" option, then a swatch will appear which you can adjust:



When the "Fixed color" option is set, all edges or surfaces will use this specified color rather than being drawn in their style color.

So that will enable you to get edges displayed in black always if you want.

Yep, they're the options we're looking for :) good stuff there Michael.

How will "Fixed color" work , can we still change colours of edges or surfaces if we want to, if we choose this option ?
Are the "Fixed color" edges of a Red cube still style red ?

Exactly what I had in mind. Thank you very much, Michael.

Danny, I'm pretty sure these are simply display options, so the surfaces and edges are still being assigned styles as they normally would, but we can now override the color component of those styles when displaying the surfaces / edges.

It's like vodkamartini mentioned above - you can still assign things to have different styles the same as before, it just alters the display only so that the display will show your fixed color choice rather than showing the style color as it normally does.

Exports are not affected, so for example if you export to OBJ format styles will be used for the materials saved in the OBJ file same as currently.

Yes, everything still maintains the same property values as before, it just purely overrides the display.
