Maya for 3D Printing - Rapid Prototyping
In this course we're going to look at something a little different, creating technically accurate 3D printed parts.

change selected object color display?

Hi,

Well, i tried to search but i really don't know preety much wich keywords to use, and so far haven't got any results, so i ask you:

Can i change the color of a selected object wireframe display, the case is: i am modeling some cars with blueprints, and they are white with black lines right? So when i select some objects above the blue print they become white, and i cant distinguish anything, also, i am colorblind, wich makes it even harder sometimes.

In case i dont make myself clear i'll let a print to show it

Hop into the color prefs, 'Window>Settings/Preferences>Color Settings'. The 'lead object' color is what you're seeing in your screengrab since you have one object selected. If you have a selection of multiple objects, the last object selected will use the 'lead object', everything else will use the 'objects' color swatch.
