Yeah at the moment to make "hidden lines" you also have to have faces showing. There is not any way to have hidden lines but also not have faces displayed with shading at the same time.

But I've now added an option in for the next v2 beta that will allow for that.

The new option will basically make it possible to get a screenshot where the shaded drawing of the faces is eliminated, but the effect of faces on generating hidden lines is retained.

However, this still has the same limitation as the previous "just hide all faces" type wireframe that silhouettes are not dealt with, so it is not a completely proper hidden line wireframe display except for things that happen to already have an edge where a silhouette is at. For example things like spheres will not look proper with this kind of wireframe display, because it only shows surface edgse and spheres only have one edge in them.

I do want to add more proper silhouette type stuff in the future but that will be a lot more work than just adding in an option.

But anyway, the new option will allow for doing screenshots like the following which may be of use:
