[3Ds Max] way to turn off edge faces on single objects? (by object)

IEatModels

I figured there would be an option in object properties but check box for edges only does something else.

The problem is that I don't want to see the mesh on an object that is really dense (that is pretty useless) but I still wanna see the edges on the object I am working on or the 'retopo' object. Freezing the dense reference object does not remove the edge view either

thanks in advance guys!

Right click the navigation controls bottom right and in the dialogue that pops up check display selected with edged faces. Turn off edged faces.

Haha! I'm just glad we're talking about the same thing this time.

Even better:
map it to a keyboard shortcut . Seeing the edges in shaded mode is a valuable tool and doing it via the dialog popup way is too cumbersome for this . The corresponding UI action is called "Display selected with Edged Faces"

@spacefrog great tip thanks!
