Hi David @RavenMenace ,
You can also move the “X-Axis Scaling Guide Line” (this is probably not what it is called officially) out of the way, by Changing your Transform Pivot Point to the 3D Cursor:

That is less ‘destructive’ than making the Vertices larger, which can get problematic, when your model gets denser:

Then you’ll have to change it back and changing a Preferences Setting back and forth is not ideal😉
