So just having "Show Hidden Lines" turned on in the options-view tab, gets you the same results, without the "Wireframe" view....

yeah. i need to see through the solid better than the hidden line is doing. some surface colors and lighting make it really hard to see through. maybe the scene browser option you mentioned could work. i'll check it out. thanks

thanks burrman. turning off faces did what i needed

Hi Anthony, re: wireframe - that's primarily the default view in Rhino be cause Rhino was originally designed to run on a Pentium 90 and it just wasn't possible to work in shaded view all the time.

MoI doesn't really have a wireframe view like that, but you can see wires by turning on hidden line display and also you can hide faces as well.

Just in general MoI is not really designed as a "drop in" replacement for Rhino, it is focused on different things than Rhino.
