When cropping a viewport, have the whole model visible

[MGuilfoile]

I think it used to be this way, now it only works this way in wireframe. When I have a viewport and I want to adjust the crop I cannot see anything beyond the existing crop when I enter the edit window. That's fine if I want to crop it tighter, but, 99% of the time I want to expand the cropping rectangle to show more of the model. This is impossible to do if the rest of the model is invisible, which it is unless I'm in wireframe, which I almost never am. I have to go back to the OIP, change to wireframe, make my crop, go back to the OIP, change it to the rendering mode I want. Lots of steps. So, in short, make the whole model visible (ideally grayed out beyond the existing crop) while in Edit Crop mode.

Thanks,

Or just delete the crop object so you can see everything and draw a new crop object.

Or just choose Edit instead of the Edit Crop shortcut and changes the View objects outside of Crop options.

Ah! Thank you Pat. How did I miss that? I was looking in all the Preferences and never thought to look at the Edit Viewport options. I think I have done it so many times I just blow right past it. As is often the case it's operator error. Believe it or not, this will save me lots of time.
