How to get rid of black edges from XYZ function mesh?

Question

Blender newbie here. I used XYZ function in the add-ons to generate several meshes. Right now, the meshes are dense with black edges. How do I get these edges to be invisible when the object is not selected? For example, the UV sphere at the bottom looks lovely.

Answer 1

By default the meshes generated by this operator have Wireframe Display enabled in the viewport.

If you have already generated the mesh :

Go the object properties > Viewport Display > Uncheck Wireframe

If you just created the mesh using the operator, look into the lower left, you can expand a panel or use the shortcut F9, then look into the lower part of the panel. Uncheck "Show Wireframe".

Note 1 : This setting will be remembered in the current Blender session.

Note 2 : If you want to change the behaviour for all sessions, go to your blender install folder and then 2.** / scripts / addons / add_mesh_extra_objects and open add_mesh_3d_function_surface.py (use notepad)

Search for "AddXYZFunctionSurface" class in the file, go down to the lines

show_wire : BoolProperty(
        name="Show wireframe",
        default=True,
        description="Add the object’s wireframe over solid drawing"
        )

500 to 504 in my file, and replace

    default=True,

with

    default=False,

Save the file, close it, open blender, the setting will be set to False by default.
