Option to disable "Show Paths" on 3D Qualifiers by default

PostSat Oct 12, 2019 1:02 am

I would love for there to be a global default preference to disable the "Show Paths" option in the 3D Qualifier by default. I have never found a need to have these on, and find it a bit irritating that I have to always uncheck that box so that my Viewer isn't defiled by all the path strokes.

Followup to this...

This morning I was working on a spot that had a bunch of 3D qualifiers on it. When I was zoomed into the frame, I saw a single "speck" on the frame, and was trying to figure out if it was a hole in the qualifier, or an actual dead pixel. When I toggled the grade on and off, the "speck" remained. So I added a Dead Pixel Remover ResolveFX to a new node, then noticed the speck disappeared. It wasn't until I zoomed out again that I realized that the "speck" was just an errant "Show Paths" trace.

Another reason why I'm not a huge fan of having "Show Paths" on by default.

One year later, and “Show Paths” continues to annoy me on a daily basis. There’s never been an instance when I don’t turn off that checkbox whenever I do a 3D Qualification on something.

I’m genuinely curious if anyone actually finds this option useful, and if I’m missing something in regards to the real-world functionality of it?

I use it all the time as I use multiple strokes and need to see them all at once.
