I have two basic object in the scene enter image description here

When I choose orthogonal view (X) the smaller cube is not visible against the background of the bigger one. enter image description here

The problem appears in 2.83 and higher. Why can it be?

How it looked in 2.82a: enter image description here

  • $\begingroup$ You can show use different colors for a final render. Different colors for the viewport are available. Show all edges is a setting. A light source that is not centered to cast shadows. Are you concerned about a final render or only the 3D Viewport? $\endgroup$ Commented Dec 1, 2020 at 9:46
  • $\begingroup$ @atomicbezierslinger only in Viewport. Yes, I can use some tricks to avoid the problem, but in 2.82a it looked OK with default settings (I added an image for reference). "Show all edges" didn't help, btw. $\endgroup$

Most likely this is due to outlines settings or around that:

  • $\begingroup$ no, "Outline' is checked. I tried different colors, tried to uncheck the box and check again - it didn't help. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ This is either in your file or your computer (graphic card?). Could you upload a blend file with the issue? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Here it is dropmefiles.com/pf5Td . I use integrated video for the moment but it is in the list of supported graphics and as I said before - no problem in 2.82. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Bad news it seems: i.sstatic.net/1m3Hv.png . Worked directly opening your file. So Graphic card... maybe $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ If you agree I'll leave the answer as it is as that could have been the issue. But please don't accept it. $\endgroup$

[wireframe mode] 1

use wireframe mode :) good when you need to align an object to a floor in orthogonal mode (the black line, since a plane otherwise might not be seen in a sideview (orthographic))

-sorry for not clarifying the first time... PS: wireframe is the blue globe in the top in the picture
