/ForceWireframe

/ForceWireframe is a boolean flag, which describes current forcible wireframe mode. Its value is either 0 or 1. If it is set to 1, 3D shapes are visualized with wireframe style forcibly. If it is set to 0, 3D shapes are visualized according to a drawing style given on the GUI panel of DAWN. By default, /ForceWireframe 0 is set implicitly.

Format /ForceWireframe flag
flag 1: forcible wireframe mode is made active
  0: forcible wireframe mode is made inactive


/ForceWireframe is often used to make a shape look transparent. For example, the following lines described in the modeling block displays a green opaque sphere put in a red transparent box:

### green opaque sphere (inside)
/ColorRGB 0.0  1.0  0.0 
/ForceWireframe 0
/Sphere     1.0
### red transparent box (outside)
/ColorRGB 1.0  0.0  0.0 
/ForceWireframe 1
/Box 1.1  1.1 1.1


DAWN does not support a way of expressing half-transparent features of shapes.
