While it may take some effort to include the middle-click based riflling through planes shortcut, in the short term would it be possible to change the color of the clipping planes to a color that isnt gray? Currently, it is quite hard to see the clipping planes in the default view (see attached image). Best, Pranav -- Pranav Shah Postdoctoral Research Fellow. Elaine: Hi Pranav, I guess you mean the vertical line in the Side View? You are right, they are very thin and hard to see especially on a high-resolution screen. Currently there is no user control -- thanks for the suggestion. Another idea from Elaine is to automatically use higher linewidth on high-resolution systems like we do for the default silhoutte edge width.
