locked objects lose their normal wireframe view

proximulator · 27th July 2008, 08:39 AM

Hello guys,

just a short question. I am creating a model which consists of several objects (lets call them components) which partially overlaps. So when i am done with one component, i would like to work on another. However, to avoid messing the one Ive already finished - I am locking it. So far so good.

PROBLEM: when I lock the object - it loses the normal view (shape with wireframe), just displays some lines and pointsx. As the result - i am not able to create my next model's component relative to already locked objects since it is barely understandable where the locked object boundaries are and how these two look together.

QUESTION: how to make locked objects appear normally - fully shaped surface (like with interactive wireframe).
