Disabling Mesh polygon lines

Anonymous

Hello!

I have a problem disabling all these defining polygon mesh lines.
I looked online but I couldn't find the option.

Thanks!

The setting you show turns those lines off for me but only after you press the OK button.

Clarification - that is in plan view not 3D.

Under the MODEL tab you can set 'User defined sharp' or 'All ridges smooth" and that will make the lines disappear in 3D.

This works but only in 3D view. When I go to Plan view the lines are still there, and are visible when I'm extracting PDFs

Change ridge pen to white?

The setting you showed in your first image will turn the triangulation lines off in plan leaving just the main ridge (contour) lines.
These can't be turned off.
But you can make them white as you suggested - but the mesh perimeter will also become white.

The ridge pen affects just the triangulation lines.
The uncut pen affects the main ridges (contours) and the perimeter.
