For exploded 3D surface objects, you can use the Edit Tool to control the visibility and usage of edges.

  1. Create a solid object and transform it into an exploded surface object, using the methods described in Edit Tool in 3D.
  2. Node edit the object. To make an edge visible, right-click between its nodes and select Make edge visible.
  3. Do the same for all edges you want to show. You can hide visible edges by selecting Make edge invisible from the local menu. Press Esc twice to leave the Edit Tool, and the selected edges are shown.
  4. To modify form-building edges, turn them on by checking Draw form-building edges on the Display page of the Drawing Setup (Options / Display).
