Way to show parents half-siblings and their children?

Question

If both parents of mine have multiple half siblings from their parents prior/later marriges, is there any way to show these siblings and their children when I'm in POV of "me" in the tree? I guess not, I've tried switching around setting but nothing worked. By going to different POV's I can always only get all half siblings from one side to be visible, never all half siblings of both parents.

Standard tree views don’t show half-siblings from both your parents' sides at once when you’re set as the home person. It’s a quirk of how trees split into two branches. I’d suggest exporting your tree to GEDCOM and loading it into Topola Genealogy Viewer (https://pewu.github.io/topola-viewer) – it gives a lovely "all relatives" layout that shows both sides at once. Or, if you're using Family Tree Maker, the Blended Families or All Relatives view does a good job showing your parents’ full sets of siblings from every marriage.

You are right, it wouldn't let me either when I tried. But then again, maybe there's a glitch in my annoyingly gigantic tree. You should try editing the generations of ancestors, descendants, and 'Other' in the Options, too.
