Pick box and other colors

Joel_l

Hi,

I have Bricscad set up with a light grey background. First thing I noticed is that when I use the modeling visual style, objects are now dark grey/black. That would be OK except the pick box is the same color. Makes it really hard to select the detail I want.

Is there a way to set custom colors for the pick box and/or the color used for modeling or other visual styles for that matter? I have searched through settings and have not found anything.

Trying a darker grey background gets back to a white pick box and light grey modeling color, but the grey background is now too dark for my liking.

Thanks
Joel

Black or white background seem to be the only options that don't cause unintended effects like these.

even with pure white background, I have the same issue, pick box is black and disappears when trying to select features in an object while using modeling visual style.

For now, X-Ray or shades of grey work for me. I tried making my own visual style, but still no control of the color. What I ended up making was similar to X-Ray. Being able to set the pick box color would go a long way.

Extraordinary you can't - snap box you can't either but snap marker you can.

I played more with the visual style editor, I did find that the shades of gray entry did let me change the face color, odd that the modeling entry doesn't let me change anything.

In the end, I have shades of gray working to my liking and I can see the pick box.

Ran into a minor snag, is there a way to save a custom visual style so it is available to all new drawings?

update - this I was able to fix by making a new drawing template.

So now I think I am where I mostly want to be.
