Display Bigger Edges

Hello,

 

that's an embarrassing question. I can't seem to find an option to increase edge display size and Google is not helping for once. I could find Vertex size option easily enough.

 

I refuse to believe a 4k euros 3d package is lacking such a basic feature!

 

Can someone point me in the right direction?

I think there is no way to make the Edges thicker in the viewport.

But you can suggest this option to Autodesk for future releases.

Thanks for your answer.

 

I am pretty much speechless right now...

 

Any script then maybe? It's really, really too thin by default.

remember that you´re talking to autodesk here. 
Maybe, sometime in the future, there will be a new feature that causes a bug that makes your lines thicker, but there will never be a function to do this manually, that´s not how autodesk works. Autodesk adds new features, creates new bugs, never fixes them and does more new features...

Ditto....

Autodesk wants their software in every school and college, which means tens of thousands of students will be squinting at wireframes displayed on overhead projectors.  30% of the students cannot see the segments/edges they need to see.
I have found how to make the grid (ground plane) lines thicker and brighter. Great. 
Just as needed is the ability to make wireframe lines thicker.  And Autodesk has provided a way to make vertices (vertexes) thicker and brighter.  
Help!

Hi all,

 

Have you tried changing the Per-Viewport Stylized settings?

'Tech' with Edged faces off seems to give good results, for perhaps high contrast projector viewing:

Standard Default Shading.

Stylized 'Tech' shading.
