  • Solid edges

The Solid edges item is used to display the edges of the solid. The solids are either drawn using the default cell color or the color of the material associated with each solid.

The color of the solid edges can be adjusted according to the following options:

  1. Auto – draws the material color if faces are not displayed. Uses black or white if the faces are displayed
  2. Specified – used the color specified next to the solid edges
  3. Material – displays the material color of the solid
  • Solid faces

The Solid faces item causes the faces of the solid to be drawn as filled polygons.
