wireframe dilemma

[Anonymous]

I am new to MAYA and was wondering about the wireframe. is there a reason why I would be able to see the wireframe on the surface and through an object. it's a bit distracting to see too many lines and would like to know how toggle it on and off

Hi!

Display -> Polygons -> Backface Culling

(This can also be enabled as default setting in Preferences)

Hello

I appreciate the response but what immediate effects will that have and do
I have to reset my project now to see the changes? It looks the same

Hi!

This depends on what you have selected and what menu you use.

Preferences setting is only for new objects.

Display -> Polygons -> Backface Culling is dependent on

Display -> Polygons -> Limit to selected

You can also use:

Display -> Polygons -> Custom Polygon Display (Objects affected: "Selected" or "All")
