Facets+Highlights Displays scene objects with flat shading and displays specular highlights.
This is a fast way to see your solid objects with highlights when Smooth+ Highlights is too
taxing with heavy scenes.
Facets Displays polygons as flat surfaces that are shaded, but includes no smoothing or
scene highlights.
Flat Displays each polygon in its raw diffuse color, disregarding any scene lighting or light
sources. This viewing method is useful when you need to see each polygon rather than to
see their shading.

Hidden Line A Wireframe mode that allows you to use the Wireframe mode without seeing
through every object. In this display mode only, the wireframe color is determined by
choosing Customize ??” Customize User Interface in the Colors tab under Elements ??” Viewports
and selecting Hidden Line Unselected rather than the object or material color.
Lit Wireframes Displays objects as their wireframes with a flat shading for a sense of lighting.
Wireframe Draws objects as wireframes only. This is the fastest viewing method that still
lets you see an object??™s shape.
