Picking-transparent coin objects

[abdullah]

Hi!

I am searching for something that I do not know if it exists.

When I try to use the carbon-copy tool, there is mostly a solid in the middle between the viewer and the sketch I want to carbon-copy.

Currently I solve this by going to the tree and making solids invisible. This is cumbersome and somehow you lose perspective when you have several sketches of similar shape.

I was thinking if there is some "coin level" artifact that I could use to temporarely make a ViewProvider unpickable, so that even if there is a solid in the middle, the ray when I click will hit the selection (the sketch) under the solid.

P.S.: I am planning an array of tools to make sketcher edition easier while using carbon copy, and importing external geometry, as well as the possibility of toggling supports, maybe also managing body transparency, though I am not sure how useful that one could be once the sections PR gets merged.
