displaySurface(
[objects...]
, [flipNormals=boolean], [twoSidedLighting=boolean], [xRay=boolean])
Note: Strings representing object names and arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the synopsis.
displaySurface is undoable, queryable, and NOT editable.
This command toggles display options on the specified or active
surfaces. Typically this command applies to NURBS or poly mesh
surfaces and ignores other type of objects.
| boolean | when in the query mode. |
In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

flipNormals(flp)
|
boolean
|
|
|
flip normal direction on the surface
|
|
twoSidedLighting(two)
|
boolean

toggle if the surface should be considered
two-sided. If it's single-sided, drawing and rendering
may use single sided lighting and back face cull
to improve performance.

xRay(x)
|
boolean

|
|
toggle X ray mode (make surface transparent)
