Visible edges on all models in scene is slowing work in max.
Better wil be show edges only for a selection.

My first atemption is using gw.polyline method:


fn showEdgedFaces poly_obj =
(
local eCount = poly_obj.Edges.count
if eCount == 0 do return false
gw.setTransform (Matrix3 1)
gw.setColor #line white
--draw lines
for i=1 to eCount do
(
local verts = (polyOp.getVertsUsingEdge poly_obj i) as array
local p1 = polyOp.getVert poly_obj verts[1]
local p2 = polyOp.getVert poly_obj verts[2]
gw.Polyline #(p1,p2) false
)
gw.enlargeUpdateRect #whole
gw.updateScreen()
)



This working fine, but one thing troubles me. "Backface Culing"

Here is need a function to recognize witch edges is on back and filtering them out.
I wil be greate for any tips or solutions. Thanks
