CGTalk - 3ds Max Ghosting

Hi folks,

Is there a way to keep ghosting on for a mesh/character, even when the mesh is unselected? Seems like such a simple thing, that has me stumped.
For example, there's ghosting toggled on for this character, then as soon as somethign else is selected in the viewport.. say.. the biped arm is selected. Ghosting on the character mesh disappears, only to reappear if the character mesh is then selected again..ugh?!
Any plugins, or other useful hints ?

Thanks,
Steve

i've seen lots of issues with this. It probably has to do with your graphics card. Update with the latest drivers is all i can tell you. Most machines i work with have a problem with ghosting. I think it's more likely to work with a NVidia graphics card.

Thanks GravidEngine for the reply...
Something tells me it could just be how the program is....
Just had a friend try it out and he got the same thing happening, though it's possible we both have the same problem with our videocards.

Seems like ghosting only shows up on selected objects. As soon as the object is unselected ghosting disappears.

Anyone else have this happening?
I would really love to find a way to keep ghosting on an object, even when that object is unselected.

-under customize userinterface 'show ghosting toggle' would be the hotkey.
