Anyone else find the rendering with meshes imported from STL fatiguing?

I though the rendering of the messes looked really cool at first. But after using them hour after hour I find the render really starts to become fatiguing.

I suggest either lighting up the lines to where you can faintly see them....so it still looks like a mess but its not so hard to see where actual feature changes occur...or maybe only drawing the thick lines when the normal from adjacent neighboring triangles is over 89 degrees.

What would be really cool is a preference box where you could turn on/off the mesh lines. Where you could vary their intensify from 0 to 100.

If the mesh lines were turned off only lines at the edges would show at full intensity.
If the mesh lines were on ... the edges would show at full intensity but the mesh lines would show at whatever intensity the user had set.

Please. Please. Please consider this. :)

Any thoughts?

    Is is possible to change the rendering of an object in feature script?

    You wouldn't be able to change rendering in feature script now. But very good suggestions @OpenR2. The fastest way to get this in the system is to open up a ticket. Click the question mark on the document page, and submit a feedback.
