Why not keep Visibility/ Double on all the time?

[cosmasad]

Hello guys,

Sorry if I seem like I’m double posting this but I didn’t seem to get much energy from where I previously set it.

The question is a simple one: The Visibility/ Double option. As someone new to Zbrush, I’m wondering is there any reason to not keep it on all the time? Is there a downside to just keeping it ON??

Thank you.

Hello @cosmasad

There are times when double sided polygons might get in the way of something you’re trying to do, or might obscure some sort of other information you’re trying to glean from the mesh. For instance, if you were checking your mesh for inverted normals, this would be quickly apparent from looking at single sided polygons, because there would be a hole where the flipped normal is. If double sided were on, this would be more difficult to detect.

But this all comes down to personal preference. There’s is nothing wrong with keeping it on if it works for you in a given situation.
