change color of edges while modeling in symmetry?

Hello! So yeah, I know where the customize colors options is... but trying to guess at the meanings of the names is a very tedious process in max 😞

So, I found the color for edges when working with geometry... but when I model something with a symetry modifier applied, then the edge color defaults to the bright ORANGE color. Kinda don't want that. Anyone know what this color would be called?

And for that matter, anyone know of a data base, online or help file, where these color terms are defined more clearly. It's sometimes very tedious to trial and error these things, especially if you have to restart max evertime you take a guess.

Thanks!!! 🙂

anybody? 😞

I've gotten to the point where I have changed the color of every item defaulted to the color "orange." Changed them all to something else, and doesn't seem to have an effect...

It's the cage color, if you don't like seeing it, switch off the cage display under Subdivision Surface rollout of the editable poly.

excellent!! thank you so much. I also see there are two color swatches for changing the actual color (selected and unselected.)

worked perfectly, thanks again.
