How to see black and white wirefreame

On my MacBook Pro, In Fusion 360, in the model work space, under Display Settings, Visual Style, I have selected "Wireframe with visible edges only" and under Display Settings/Environment I have selected "Photo Booth". With these settings, I do get a gray background and only really faint white lines for the models edges. Does anyone now how I could get a white background and black lines/wireframe?

 

I would like to take screen shots of different views/model orientations with a clearly visible black wireframe on a white background without having to go into the drawing work space of Fusion 360 where you are limited on what model orientations you can select.

 

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Setting the 'Environment' to 'Photo Booth' should give you a white background.  Can you try other settings in Environment.

Thank you etfrench! Unfortunately I am have the setting set to Photo Booth and it does give me a whitish/grayish background which I am OK with but I need the model wireframe lines to be black and they are only displayed in a faint white. I need them to be a solid black. Any other suggestions?

 

Thank you

Actually, 'Infinity Pool' should give you a pure white background.

"Photobooth" and "Wireframe with Visual Edges Only" gives me these results:

Very interesting "mstrader"! Unfortunately these settings give me very faint white lines. I wonder why? Does it have anything to do with the material/appearance of the model?

Have you tried to sign out, close fusion and restart it?

Yes, I have signed out, closed fusion and restarted it. Same result, white wireframe.

I using the default materials and appearance.

Hmmm... I wonder if we have a bug on our hands. It kinda seems like the wire color got stuck on a different setting

A couple ideas you could try:

-Cycle between the different "Environment" and "Visual Style" settings

-Restart Fusion

-Reinstall Fusion

 

I'll ask around and see if anyone else can reproduce this issue.

Thanks,

Max

Thank you Max!

 

I have cycled between different "Environment" and "Visual Styles" settings, no success.

I have restarted Fusion 360 no luck.

 

But, I have but the "opacity" control to 50%, and then I get a black wireframe!! So for now, that may be my workaround to set the opacity control to 50%.

Oh yeah the opacity control, that would do it. Glad you figured it out!

Hello, I have the same problem. The opacity control works for me as well, but sets the opacity to transparency to objects. For wireframe its ok, but for the model is a bit hard to work with.

Eduard,

 

I agree with you, it is not an optimal solution. I feel there needs to be a better solution to solve this problem. It should be possible to see black lines when in the wireframe display mode. The white, faint lines are just not workable.
