How can you suppress / turn off display of Nodes / black circles in SVG

[Webdad]

Working through some recommendations from other discussions on multi color 3D printing models and learning a ton.  With that, I've got one nagging issue in that when I imported my SVG, it displays with these black circles / dots at the nodes of the SVG (i guess).  How can I turn them off?

Previously there was a handy fly out on the right-hand side that I am pretty sure would have solved it, but alas, that appears to have been gobbled up by the "Display Settings" thing at the bottom which simultaneously is more robust (maybe) and cumbersome.

Hi @Webdad ,

Thank you for your question.

You can hide the node points by turning off “Points” in the Sketch Palette. However, at the moment, it is not possible to hide these points using the “Display Settings” panel.

I will raise this internally as an improvement request for our development team to review. If the feature is considered for implementation, I’ll share an update here.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention, and I’m glad to hear you’re learning a lot while exploring multi-color 3D printing workflows!

Thanks!  The Sketch Palette is what I was looking for / used to.  It was an operator headspace issue, in that I wasn't editing the sketch when I was trying to suppress the point display.  Once I went to edit sketch, I was back with the palette and all was well.

Thanks again

Just out of curiosity, what is the purpose of displaying those points when not in sketch mode?  Are there other functions / use cases outside of sketch mode where knowing those points would be necessary?

Can you File>Export your *.f3d file to your local drive and then Attach it here to a Reply?

Most of them I would remove as unnecessary complication of the sketch.

Hi @Webdad ,

Sketch points (including SVG node points) are only visible and controllable when a sketch is actively being edited. That’s why the Sketch Palette didn’t appear earlier — Fusion only shows it when you're inside sketch edit mode.

Once in Edit Sketch, you can toggle Points on or off anytime to control the visibility of those node markers.
