Selection box is not occluded by the geometry that is selected

[chrisdembia]

When selecting something, the selected object is surrounded by a yellow box. The edges of the box are not occluded by the geometry that is selected, which breaks down the 3D perspective/illusion.

........................ ^ this vertical edge should be behind patella

The selection in the VTK view was pretty slick: the geometry changed color. Is there a reason for using a box to denote selection instead of changing color? I suppose I am fine with either mechanism.

This is actually intentional and is way better then our VTK approach which reserves a color as selection (that's why all OpenSim scenes do not have yellow!) Now imagine trying to select a marker that ended up embedded in a bone, if occlusion is applied that would be impossible. other options to indicate selections would be to highlight edges or enlarge/shrink. I think the current scheme is reasonable but I'm open to all suggestions for improvement.

Good points. I agree with you.

What about a dashed line for the parts of the box that should be occluded?
