How to turn on and off displaying material?

Hey

 

I usually use "Shaded with visible edges only" style. When the material of the object I'm building is smooth, like steel, Fusion displays the image very smoothly. But I work in wood, and when the material of the object is 3d wood, Fusion significantly slows down.

 

I'm sure the display speed depends on both the processor and the graphics card, but maybe someone knows the simple way to "turn off" and "turn on" the display of materials other than turning on the wireframe style or removing the material to work and re-applying it to the visualization.

I'm not aware of any current advantage to having actual material depicted. Outside of visual accuracy, just use the simplest thing for your computer?

Did you ever receive an answer on how to do this?  I'm about to post the same question.

 

I have materials for rendering - but for modeling - I'm happier with the pastels that are standard.

 

I'd love to toggle material views on and off.

 

Thanks
Ethan

Or in reality what I want is to have 1 set of colors in Model view - and then my actual materials applied for renders.

The only method I know is switching "Visual Style" to "Wireframe with
Visible Edges Only". However, this is not the same as shaded gray when
all materials are standard steel. So I'm still using the materials that
are given for rendering, which slows down the work and reduces the
readability of the drawing.

Thanks for the response.

I wish there was a way to toggle this. Worth a feature request?

Thanks
