No, sorry, there's no way currently. Its on the list for someday though.

I'm assuming you want a wireframe mode to make picking hidden edges easier? One way to help with that is the Home key ... it focuses the view/camera on the poly under the mouse pointer, then you can zoom in easily on that area. Don't be afraid to spin the camera around so you're viewing the mesh from the inside. Also the G hotkey can be used to paint select polys for detaching; sometime is easier to do that than C hotkey edge picking.

thanks Phil, yeah that's the first thing I looked for....

it's kind of hard to see where cuts go when using a mesh with several small extrusions or chafered edges. Orbitting the camera and zooming in helps out though.

this is just a wild idea but wouldnt being able to temporarily relax the mesh (say on a toggle) in the edit view help allot with this sort of selection problem?

No, not a wild idea at all! In fact its in the wish list already under "rounding slider".

Yes. And it's highly unusual in my experience (admittedly limited), to encounter a developer who's so tuned in to his customers. Makes for a very rewarding relationship.

I'm sure most developers listen to their customers, but UVLayout is a one trick pony so its possible to just about keep pace with the requests. Having said that though, some of those things on the wish list have been there for a very very long time :-)

Im not sure about everyone else but seeing how in touch you are with your userbase was a big influence in my purchase. Silo was the same.
