The Appear interface is used to change the appearance of selected parts. This information can be saved using the Save/Retrieve Views interface.
There are certain "global" plotting modes available in the 2 rows of rendering buttons located on the bottom edge of the graphics viewport like Hide, Shad, View, etc... And these are applied to all parts in the model. In contrast, the Appear interface allows users to change plotting modes on a per part basis. This allows for entire model being in edge mode except one part in fringed mode - thus allowing user to compose a display that can help the audience to focus on the part of interest
Another very important feature of this interface is to display and animate very large models using edge mode for most parts except for some of particular interest and yet have reasonable animation speeds.
Set appearance of selected part.
