Display Mode

Mesh
When set to mesh, the complete content of the XMesh file sequence set for viewport display will be loaded and shown in the viewport
Bounding Box
Only the bounding box of the XMesh file (calculated and written to the .XMesh XML file at saving time) will be read and drawn in the viewport.
Vertices
Only the vertex .XMdat component file of the frame will be loaded (thus skipping the loading of all other channel files) and the vertices will be shown as dots, with optional percent control to show a fraction of the vertices.
N-Faces
When set to n-faces, a user-defined percentage of the XMesh’s faces will be shown in the viewport, resulting in faster redraws.
Disabled
The XMesh is not displayed.
Percent
When displaying vertices or n-faces, the percent to display in the viewport.
