In video at ArtStation the teacher uses the screw modifier, then he goes into edit mode and the generated geometry wireframe still shows:

Edit Mode with wireframe

https://www.artstation.com/learning/courses/OzX/introduction-concepting-in-blender/chapters/9eJ8/boolean-practice-handguard

I have wireframe enabled under viewport overlays and see the wireframe (with solid viewport shading) in object mode: Object Mode

However in edit mode I only get this: Edit Mode

Under object properties / viewport display I also tried enabling wireframe (which seems to do the same as wireframe setting under viewport overlays, just per object) and all edges, but that did not help. I'm using a later version than the teacher, was this functionality removed? I cannot find any option to turn it on. Any ideas?

    $\begingroup$ Yeah, that's strange, it seems screw generated geometry does not show wires in wireframe mode (before the modifier is applied). I can not find a way to get it to display. Could you take a screenshot of the moment he activates it in the video? - The video you linked is locked for those who do not have an account. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ I just added screenshot from video showing him in edit mode with wireframe showing, but it was screenshotted from my phone, not the best quality. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Can confirm that it seems to work like described in older versions (I tried a fresh install 2.93, the one in the video is 3.1.2), but not in newer ones. Couldn't find a patch where the change happens though, so maybe it's a bug? Not sure. Could ask the devs after holidays if no one comes with an answer I guess. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Earliest version it stops working seems to be 3.4, when the Viewer Node option was added to the overlays, I'm assuming that's the culprit. $\endgroup$
