Having wireframe rendered over facets (triangles) of a mesh entity would be great for visual clarity.
Currently, from the entity Properties, we can only choose to substitute facets display with wireframe-only.

Re: Is it possible to display the mesh edges?
This would be a very welcome feature.
Maybe it's doable via Python plugin 🤔
A "workaround" is to use EDL shader (Display > Shaders & Filters) for better visual clarity (it tells pretty well one face (triangle) from another, unless they are coplanar). But it's still not wireframe.

Re: Select / sort / filter entities by type
Oh, I haven't noticed that option, thank you for the tip!
I just now figured another way of handling this specific issue (though selection pane is better):
During E57 import, when importing clouds is done, CC proceeds to import images and then I can instantly hit Cancel, so only a few images get ...

Select / sort / filter entities by type
Hi,
I think CC lacks some bulk selection / filtering tools.
My case is that I imported E57 structured point cloud, acquired with a Matterport scanner, containing over a 100 separate scans, each shipped with multiple images, making up a skybox. AFAIK, merging the scans into one cloud requires ...

Re: Improved Center of Rotation [Rotation/Translation Mode]
Hi, I've been using CC for 3 years and for me, an easy custom rotation center is a very desired feature. Sphere is a good idea, I think.
Also, this should be available for multi-entity selection too.

Re: How to pick a rotation center for Translate/Rotate tool?
Honestly, rotation around custom pivot point (user's rotation center) should be possible without the need to create polylines or any geometries at all. This is such a redundancy, an annoying extra step, I'm sorry. The rotation center plus rotation axis (chosen in the Translate/Rotate dialog ...
