Yes - viewport presets is something we considered, but decided against for now, in favour of a more direct system. We think that Workspaces can act as a type of viewport preset.

Re the Z-key behaviour, that's intentional. From the start, 2.8 was designed to eschew Wireframe mode as a necessary feature to work in 3D. That's why we've replaced the Z key to enable see-through X-ray mode instead.

Wireframes can still be seen in Edit Mode, and enabled anywhere via the Wireframe overlay option.

To make viewport settings quicker to set, we could perhaps add a shortcut to open the Overlays popover.

Hello everyone:)

@Alma Talp (AlmaTalp) I wouldn't really call the latest build buggy. I would call it in development. The fact that Blender is changed so well (and so deep) every once in a couple of years really makes Blender stand the test of time and might even make Blender the go-to software for 3D creation in the future.

I have to add to Alma, Evandro and Mindinsomnia. Z key is the ultimate key in Blender for me too. I haven't worn the key itself completely yet as there is a little bit of white ink left on the top left but I'm very close to having it completely black.

Just found this today and it reminded me of this. Seems like the functionality is similar and maybe the intersection could be less bulbous?

Could someone please check if this is a bug? Thanks! ;)

Hezaro you should really prepare a blend file of the problem otherwise it seems too hard to reproduce.

Special hardware? Like displays with high DPI? I can't think of any other hardware.

Considering that my display is plugged into GTX 970 and everything goes smoothly with IF turned off I'd say it's set up correctly. What puzzles me is that on some PCs it doesn't even make a difference.

• Make sure video drivers are all up to date

I have GTX 970 and it has the newest drivers available. (358.91)

Julian Eisel quote: Each of the 17 editors has the same 17 standard color settings, a total of 289 - it could be 17!

@Campbell Barton (campbellbarton) It would be great for people who create themes though. And from what I've seen of the internet's Blender video-tutorial wealth people have custom theme quite often so I guess it's a used feature.

It does happen with factory settings and only IF on, but it lags less I'd say. In that case, it only really lags when you zoom in all the way.

Do you have the newest drivers for your GPU?

Ok, thanks for the clarification. Will report to Microsoft then. :]

Can I create the task as Design then? Or how do I suggest features?

Might be related as a feature request: T46433 @Aaron Carlisle (Blendify) @Khanh Ha (khanh_ha)

Couldn't it be made user-customizable through User Preferences under Themes?

It would make as much sense as having the search bar for shortcuts in User Preferences. Quite frankly, I also don't see how it could hurt anything but I guess it would be too complicated to implement. The problem probably also can be that you can find stuff through Spacebar that can't be made into a shortcut?

Hi @Khanh Ha (khanh_ha) and @Nicholas Bishop (nicholasbishop)
I am using the current Skin Modifier not really for creating the base mesh, but also for branch-like 3D object modelling like:

It's good to hear undo is on TODO list. Sorry for losing your time.

Yeah, I think that SSAO should be turned off in wireframe and bounding box mode.

Read it properly please.

I was checking it very properly again and it seems SSAO stays on even for wireframe mode + bounding box mode (even though there's no option in the menu to turn it off at that point) and some information is lost. Antialiasing still works though at all time.

Should not be on by default I think. It's against blender parenting logic and I would not even try to find something like that in the preferences. Thanks anyway for clearing this out.

It is actually possible to add a group to a group. Here is the .blend file.

Good job, I am glad it is fixed!

I think that Blender should at least remember the last used settings. It gets really annoying to change it to for example jpg each time.

Proportional edit does not work together with translation along edges (Edge Slide - shortcut: GG)
