      When I am in a component with "Hide Rest of Model" turned on showing "Back Edges" doesn't work. I wonder if this is working as intended or if I have some sort of graphics card glitch I'm having. I'm on SU2014. Do others get this same behavior?

        Works here...

        Try tweaking your OpenGL settings

        Download the free D'oh Book for SketchUp πŸ“–

            Hrm...I changed all of my OpenGL settings to no avail.

            For the record I'm on Windows 7 64-bit, SU2014, and have an nVidia Quardo 4000

            Attaching a quick little screen capture to show what's happening.

              Weird. My screen shot was from my Win7, 64-bit machine with SU2014. nVidia card but I don't remember the number. Have you checked for driver updates recently?
