2. On the View Control Bar, click (Shadows Off/On)Graphic Display Options.
3. In the Graphic Display Options dialog, in the Model Display panel, select a Silhouette style (for example, Wide Lines).
4. Click OK.

To remove a line style from a silhouette edge:

2. In the Type Selector, select <Not Silhouette>.
3. Select the edges in silhouette, and the silhouette is removed.
