Is it possible to display the mesh edges?

Post by swiss_knight »

Hello,

I was pretty sure it was possible to display the mesh edges in CC but I cannot figure it out.

I have a meshe as an OBJ file representing a TIN (terrain) that I loaded in CC 2.11.1 (installed from Ubuntu 22.04 snap).

I computed a Scalar Field along Z to display the terrain height with a nice color ramp, hereunder viridis.

This is the DEM when no mesh display option is selected (let's say it's a "solid" mode) :

Here when the wireframe option is ticked :

(ticking wireframe + stippling together doesn't make any differences with the wireframe mode only)

And here when the stippling option is enabled :

The white dots that you can see here are the triangle vertices.


But I wish I could also display the edges of the triangles in both the solid and stippling modes, for example in black or white (or any other user defined color), so that we can effectively see the borders of the triangles.

I thought this was possible so I probably missed something obvious but I cannot figure it out anymore.
Is this possible and if yes how?

Thanks a lot.

Ah no, sorry, I don't remember that it has ever been an option?

Maybe more in Meshlab?
