Edges display

It seems that convex edges are displayed/highlighted with a gray line, but concave edges are not.

In example, with this code the edges between the two extrusions are not displayed:

from cadquery import Workplane

Workplane("XY").rect(2, 2).extrude(1).faces(">Z").rect(1, 1).extrude(1)

Is that the expected behavior? How could it be fixed?

Hi @Peque I realised that I would love to have different defaults based on what I currently do. So I have added a kind of defaults management to jupyter-cadquery. You now can globally set your preferences:

import cadquery as cq
from jupyter_cadquery.cadquery import Part, Assembly, show
from jupyter_cadquery import set_defaults, get_defaults, reset_defaults

set_defaults(axes=True, grid=True, axes0=True, transparent=True, cad_width=1000, position=(1,1,0))

Every following rendering will use these defaults. And you also can use show(cad_objs, grid=False) to overwrite the default for one specific plot.

It is available in version 0.9.5 and I hope that addresses your “philosophical preference” 😉

Got it. To be honest, I also don’t know what I like more. I think I changed it because I played with some models that were far away from the origin and then I did not see grid or axis without zooming.

Let me play with it some more to find out my own preference …
