  1. Shaded geometry - Display shaded geometry with or without surface edges.
  2. Geometry transparency - Set geometry transparency to 25%, 50%, or 75%.
  3. Wireframe geometry - Display wireframe geometry with or without surface lines.
  4. Don't draw geometry (G) - Hides geometry in the modeling window and is independent of an entity's saved visibility state.
  5. Shaded elements - Display shaded elements with mesh lines, only feature lines, or no mesh lines.
  6. Mesh transparency - Make mesh transparent.
  7. Wireframe elements - Display wireframe elements with or without internal mesh lines.
  8. Don't draw mesh (G) - Hides elements in the modeling window and is independent of an entity's saved visibility state.
