[resolved in 0.19]Ticket #2652 transparent cylinder in foreground only shown as wireframe when mouse ...

[tobycz]

Hi,

First of all, thanks a lot for very good piece of open source software!

Now for my question.
I have an interesting effect when I mouse over a transparent box in the background with a transparent cylinder shown in the foreground.
The cylinder is only shown as wireframe during mouse over (please see also attached images and attached example.FCStd).
Is this the intended behaviour?
Thanks!

Toby

Hello Toby,

Looks like a display glitch, I have the same thing here. But if you rotate the view, zoom out or a combination of the two, at some point the cylinder displays normally. Then it's back to wireframe again...

Thanks for quick reply!

I have two quick questions.
Is there any workaround for that?
Is a display glitch considered as an issue and should I submit it to a tracker?

Thanks!

I have often "display glitches". In a lot of case it helps to click "fit on screen" and then zoom again to the required level.

Is a display glitch considered as an issue and should I submit it to a tracker?

I would say, it is an issue. So its worth to put it into the bug tracker. On the other side FreeCAD has so much need for improvement, that I would expect it takes a long time until someone feels a need to fix this. But if it is in the tracker, it will not be forgotten.

Thanks, Ulrich!

Unfortunately "fit on screen" doesn't really solve the problem.
As soon as one rotates the view, the problem occurs again but it also disappears when one continues to rotate.

I will submit it to the tracker.

Yes, that way it won't be forgotten. I suggest you add a link to this topic in the bug report, then paste a link to the report here.

A hint: just paste the bug report ID number here, and add "bug" tags (just click on the "bug" button on the "Post a reply" toolbar.

Example:

Code: Select all

[bug]2637[/bug]

will show as issue #2637.

Submitted to FreeCAD tracker : issue #2652

If you notice the transparency of the box is set to 66 and the cylinder is 20, set it to zero and all is good. The program is probably doing what it should, stuff kind of disappears when these numbers aren't set to zero.
