Sketch point visibility - toggle display?

[Anonymous]

Beginner question:

Is there a way to toggle the visibility of the control points on splines? I can't figure out a way to hide the points during sketching or after I'm out of the sketch. The problem is that they stay so visibly large, I can't assess the curves I'm drawing when I'm in the middle of a complex spline drawing.

To illustrate what I mean; here you can see the points are showing on the splines that are open or an organic shape. Is there some way I can make them hidden like the closed rectangular shapes?

Thanks,

Ben

@Anonymous,

No, there is no way today to turn off those fit points.  The reason why those are drawn while line endpoints of a rectangle (or other shared points) are not is that without that display, there would be no way to know where the fit points were.  This is important because selecting/dragging these are the only way to control the spline.  With shared line endpoints, it's obvious where the points are.

We could, of course, offer an option to disable the display of these points, but that is not in our current plan.  Feel free to add this to the Fusion Idea Station and see if others share your requirement.

Thanks for your time and response Jeff. Now I understand why some points display and others don't. My primary problem is that when I want to look at a design and assess the proportions and curvature I just can't really see the design behind the points.

To really illustrate the issue it causes here's a screenshot of the same design in Fusion 360 with the points displaying and in Rhino with no points displaying. I'll post in the Idea Station forum too. 

Fusion 360 point visibility obscures the drawing making it hard to judge the curves after drawing:

Rhino with points hidden allows me to see and judge the design before turning points on again to make edits:

Thanks for your help!
