Hello everyone,
I am switching to 3ds Max and I was wondering if there is an option to change the wireframe color when you enter sub-object mode ( edge/vert/face mode ). Maya and XSI have that option but I can't find it in max.
Does anybody know if there is an option or a script ?
Thanks.
Top images - object mode
Bottom - vert mode

Hello @Alfred.DeFlaminis,
Thank you for your reply. The option that you are showing me is only changing the selection color. What I'm referring to is the following :
1. When a cube (for example) is sitting in the viewport, it's showing the wireframe that you specified (name and color tab).
2. When you select the cube the wireframe changes to white (default).
3. When you go in vertex mode ( by pressing 1 on the keyboard assuming the cube is in an editable poly) the wireframe stays white color.
In Maya and Softimage XSI when you go from step 2 to step 3 the color of the wireframe is changing ( indicating you are in vertex mode ). In Max (as far as I am aware) the color stays the same for steps 2 AND 3 (regardless if you are in vertex mode, or in object mode). Yes, you can change it from the option that you showed me, but for both modes. I hope this makes sense.
Ah I see what you mean @Anonymous, in Max there is just the 1 color for that as far as I am aware.
