      Dave, I sometimes find endpoints are helpful in modeling to show me endpoints particularly in non welded curves or colinear edges. Profiles are sometimes helpful in showing non planar edges while modeling.

        Peter, that's a good point. I meant to add that endpoints and heavy profiles can be useful in some cases so they shouldn't be forgotten. Setting endpoints to 1, though, probably won't be very useful.

        Another thing I intended to add is that you probably don't want to turn Profiles off. Setting them to 1 is likely the better choice. Notice the difference in appearance of the cylinder with Profiles set to 1 and turned off entirely.

          I always have profiles on, and I have a shortcut to toggle endpoints for same reasons as Peter, but I wasn't onto that πŸ˜’

            Sometimes I see SketchUp files in which the user has turned off profiles and they are wondering why the round stuff disappears. πŸ˜‰

              Thanks again for the help guys, much appreciated.

              SU should really but an Anti Liasing setting on the Mac version, so users don't have to hack at it in the Ruby Console.
