Show Cage Not Working on Editable Poly Stack Base Level

[Anonymous]

The "Show Cage" function doesn't work on the modifier stack base-level Editable Poly. You have to add an Edit Poly modifier to the stack to get it to work. Seems like if there is a check box to enable it, it should work. I use this feature all the time during retopology, as it allows me to see the wireframe of the mesh I'm creating without having to also see the distracting wireframe of the much more dense mesh I'm referencing.

Archiving this as designed. The one you're referencing at the base level doesn't have any subdivisions applied to it. That's why it in that grouping. When you check it on and your subdivisions are 1, that's the cage. If you turn it up to 2, with Show Cage on, you'll see the 'lower' level one. That's one reason the edit poly modifier was created so you can do changes to the base editable poly as part of the edit poly modifier and see the changes without having to commit them.
