Invisible wire frame

[vertex-inversion]

OK... glad to know it's been there since 1.3.1

I'll have to try it on my older machine (Tiger and Wings 1.1) - working from there to see how far I can go into the newer versions...

The same problem also occurred to my Mac mini.

I'm on a macbook air (HD 4000 graphics) with OS X 10.8.3

My machine's Graphic chip is Intel iris.
It might be the problem occurs in Intel graphics chip.

Can someone fix this problem?

I tried to modify wings_render module for this problem avoid.
However it is a unofficial solution and isn't perfect.
It forced draw egdes,but side effects occurred on face/secondary selection.
A file can download from a following url. Please use if you're interested.

I tried to find a workaround for that last year, but I also got a side effect. (and, unfortunately I lost the code when my pen-drive was damaged )

I'll take a look on it and see if in the machine I have the Intel chip I can get the same issue as yours.

That’s a pity.
It is scary because storage device there are times when broken suddenly,isn't it?

By the way,about wireframe problem was progress to solution!
I was finally corrected the display with no side effects(for example z-fighting in seveal mode),a clue was simple!
In intel driver,It seem that probably polygon offset count way is differ from other driver.
Change 2 value and work fine!

wings_renderer.erl(orig)

Line186: polygonOffset(1), %% change 2 to 1 for fix
Line226: polygonOffset(0), %% change 1 to 0 for fix

I think that there is a side effect in other graphics driver.
then I've uploaded a new file.(Use for Intel GPU Mac only)

(Edit:15/9/10, for Wings3D 2.0 files are available.)

render_module_for_intel_ok_ver2.zip is archive.
Does it work in your environment?

We thought the same too. That's why dgud added the option to change that in the Preferences->Misc->Edges display problems?. But there the minor values is 1.0.

I played with many values and no one worked for the Intel graphic I have. So I changed my approach and got some good result, but not really a fix (left is regular render and right with the "fix" applied):

The are more details in this post.

I tested your code in a PC (i5) with a Intel HD Graphics and still have "my" edge problem:
but for these motherboard with Intel graphic card it goes away just by changing the camera view/zoom a little.
I'm going to try it in a old PC with XP and Intel. But, it seems that this problem related to Intel has no way to be completely fixed - even if we can find a solution it's not applicable to all PC platform.

Thank you for useful infomation,
I understood that the problem doesn't limit in specific OS and by more complex mechanism...
It might be necessary that a setting of relative offset adjustment of each display elements
( hilight -- selection -- edge(wire frame) -- solid ).

Preference > Misc > Workaround >Edge Offset
This feature seems to adjust an offset in the selection area.
There are some tests by my environment(see follow a screenshot).


An edge display offset ,It's interesting that an the offset is affected in Face Selection.
