Hiding the modifier

Hi, when going into edit mode with a mirror modifier on the object I noticed that the modifier does not show. When I go into edit mode the mirror is still there. Is there something I should check? (I am using 2.8)


thank you

    Hey there, one thing to double check is the eye icon (or chain if you're using a recent 2.8 build with mixed up icons) at the top of the modifier. Also try updating your build as the older 2.8 ones didn't support modifiers in edit mode.

    Thank you. I can turn off the modifier with the link and I have been doing that. However, in the videos you move between object and edit mode and the modifier does not show. I wondered if there is a key press or a setting that means in edit mode it is hidden and in object mode it shows.

    Ah yeah, that was just a limitation of Blender 2.8 at the time I recorded!

    thank you. I will just turn on/off via the link icon in the hierarchy
