hi there

i have tried many things but i cannot solve this problem myself:

anytime i use a selection tool or a tool that creates virtual lines, i canīt see it. this for example happens with the rectangular selection, the bridge tool, the make-polygon tool and the magnifying tool.

any idea what i could do?
i use c4d8.1-studio, win xp, radeon 7500, several plugins

hehe radeon you say, how thin are your lines in say wireframe mode, do they look really thin and crisp?

sounds like your issue is with the ati radeons smoothvision. Disable it for all 3D applications, its not designed for that kind of use, its designed for games.

iīve checked it - smoothing and other dx-options are off. anything is perfect in the editor. all can be seen, except for example the rectangular-selection lines. the problem is the lack of those virtual lines.

as you can see the editor itself is ok.

i donīt make use of anti-aliasing in games, too.

I had many problems with radeon cards in 3D, interchanging it to Geforce 4 Tit every problem's disappeared.

Goto the ogl prefs and disable the extra ogl polygons option. Does that help?

Never met an ATI card I liked. The drivers are always buggy, screen corruption, etc. and they pinch your lunch when you're not looking.
