Vertex Handles command (Settings menu)

This command displays or hides all Vertex Handles in L3DD’s 3D view.  Vertex handles are drawn in green floating slightly above the corners of the shiny side of all faces.  They serve the same vertex-selection function as vertex diamonds, and they too turn yellow when selected.  A check mark appears next to the menu item when Vertex Handles are displayed.

L3DD’s provision of both vertex diamonds and handles may seem like overkill.  However, each is better than the other in some circumstances --- handles, for example, do not show on the dull side of faces and diamonds are needed to show lone vertices.  Both were tested during L3DD’s development, expecting one would triumph, but the verdict is that both are needed.

The size of vertex handles can be changed with the Handle Size command.
