3ds max 2017 Unwrap Edge Selection Color Change

kasigawa

Hello all. Kazuya here. I just got 3ds max 2017. I transferred a model I have been working on for a while to the new version. Unfortunately there has been some major interface changes. The interface change that has stopped my workflow completely and created a great inconvenience is the unwrap's edge selection. I was wondering if anyone knew how to change the color of an unwrap edge selection. The selection color by default is white. Unfortunately, the wireframe object selection is also white. I know you can change the color at Customize> Customize User Interface> Colors ... It's here where I've been trying for hours to figure it out. I can't seem to find it in the manual nor in any google searches. Anyone willing to help out?

You can change the UVWUnwrap  selection colors in the preferences dialog of the UVW Editor (  Options->Preferences... )

It's most unfortunate I've already tried this also with no result. It changed items in the unwrap editor. Nonetheless, thank you for the reply.

Could you be more specific what color exactly you want to change ?
I assumed that you exactly meant the colors of selected edges in the UVW Editor
You mean those in the viewport ? This color should be the same as the general  selected subobject color ( red by default )

Sure, I was hoping to change the color of the line in the viewport.
I also thought it was red by default, but it's white instead. I'm convinced it must be a bug.
I don't believe 3ds max 2017 is a solid build; therefore, I'll probably have to wait for their next update.

I have no problems with my selected UV edges being displayed in the viewport correctly ( red in my case )

It's got to be my PC then, I'm not sure what's wrong with it. :T
I'm working off of 3ds max 2016 instead.

I was having the same issue. Try to select THIN instead of THICK under Configure>Display. With that option the colors are displayed the way they used to be. Hope it helps.
