Hi there. I am modeling a sphere in mesh mode in Rhino 7 Mac. The wireframe in the backside of the sphere is visible through the surface of the front side, which ist quite confusing. ChatGPT tells me, you can turn that off in Rhino 7 Windows, but not the Mac version … I find that hard to believe, is that true? And if, is there a workaround?
Hi Jan -
This is a mesh sphere in Rhino 7 on macOS:
Please run the Rhino SystemInfo command and copy-paste the output here.

Hi Wim, now I found the mistake, I messed somewhere in the display mode settings. When I restored them to default, everything was okay again.
Sorry for that - best regards - Jan

Rhino has these two test commands to toggle the wireframe’s visibility:
Icon 32x32:
Icon: 256x256
Text: Toggle control points to front
Tooltip for the left mouse button: Toggle control points to front
Command: TestToggleControlPointsToFront
Tooltip for the right mouse button: Toggle analysis control points
Command: TestToggleAnalysisControlPoints
