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.

flipNormals(flp) |
boolean |
 |
|
flip normal direction on the surface |
|
xRay(x) |
boolean |
|
|
toggle X ray mode (make surface transparent) |
|
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. |
