Hey guys, 

I was watching this video by Arrimus3d and he has a shading setting that is Smooth+Highlights that he uses in combination with Edged faces  toggle so he can move around verts/edges/faces with 'show end result' but without any wireframe or cage. This to me allows for realtime adjustments without the wireframe/cage in the way.

You can see this at the 7.40 mark

I cannot find this option. I noticed he is using Max 2018 so maybe this feature was removed? I did read on the Autodesk forums that you have to run on Direct3D legacy driver instead of Nitrous to get this viewport setting but it run alot slower this way. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
