<div>A current problem we have while retopologizing a

<div>I've just discussed the issue with Campbell on IRC
and we've come to the conclusion that a straight-forward
solution to this is a Display option for the viewport for
"Show Front Edges Only."</div>

<div>Here's the current problem: <a href="http://cl.ly/PsEh" target="_blank">http://cl.ly/PsEh</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As you can see, while in shaded mode, you
practically can't see your new geometry. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>An ideal display mode would look like this: <a href="http://cl.ly/Pt54" target="_blank">http://cl.ly/Pt54</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This allows you to view the original form in
shaded mode, and yet see the new mesh in a wireframe, while
also hiding all back edges and vertices. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Currently there's two main ways to do this. One is
Xray, which gives you this: <a href="http://cl.ly/PtGQ" target="_blank">http://cl.ly/PtGQ</a>, and then
Shrinkwrap. Neither option is good.</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>Having a "Front Edges Only" option for the
Viewport, which would work on the currently selected object
would be ideal. This would allow you to easily see what you're
working on while also allowing you to work on multiple objects
easily. </div>
