In addition to the preset visual styles, different aspects of an object's visuals can be controlled using the tools located in the Visual styles panel in the Visualize tab. Let's start with edges, which have three different settings:

• No Edges:  Will set them to be completely hidden
• Isolines: Shows only iso-lines
• Facet Edges:  Shows facet edges

You can choose not to display the hidden lines, or only show the front-facing edges and surfaces using the Hide button. Also, there are four different options regarding face colors:

• Normal: This does not apply any modifications to the colors of objects.
• Monochrome:  This uses only one color to display all objects. You can set which color to use with the VSMONOCOLOR system variable.
• Tint: This uses different settings for the hue and saturation of one color to display all objects. You can choose the color using the VSMONOCOLOR system variable.
• Desaturate: Colors are softened by reducing saturation by 30%.

You can see all of these settings in the following figure:

Besides face color, you can also control the transparency of objects by clicking on the Transparency button, then dragging the slider to adjust the opacity percentage. In addition to that, you have three face styles to choose from:

• No Face Style
• Realistic Face Style
• Warm-Cool Face Style

The three face styles can be seen in the following figure:

When the settings of the visual style are changed, the visual style name will change to Current. You can create a new visual style to save the changes using the Save as New Visual Style button as shown in the following figure:

Now that we have learned how to tweak the visual style for the best visibility and performance, let's take a look at another important feature: the use of multi-viewport configurations.
