Hiding Pen colours

[Anonymous]

Is it possible to hide or turn off the pen colour in the 3D view only. I want to hide it when I viewing the object in the preview window in the parts library.
Thanks

I want to hide the orange pen colour in the preview window

Those orange lines represent the edges of the 3D object. There is no way to get ride of them completely, but you could change them to white.

Why would you want to get rid of them?

I just wanted to make the object cleaner looking when working in the library window screen. The bars of the railing section are 20mm dia at max, the pen colour thickness hides these and therfore you cant see them clearly.
I have individual material colours set for the different parts of the railing eg railtop, bars,posts,collars in the parameters. I wanted to see what the railing will look like by changing these colours before placing it in the floor plan and then viewing it in 3D.
If I change it to white it will hide the object in the 2D floor plan.

It depends on the object. Some have different 2D and 3D pens, Ones that do, you can make the 3D pen whatever you want. The ones that don't, you are kind of stuck.

Normally, if there is no specific 3D pen, the 3D pen is the default object pen.

I'm using V10, so should it be possible to add in an extra piece of script to control the pen??
