A new VTker’s question, is it possible to set the representation to surface with wireframe simultaneously for a import stl file **strong text**? like following picture.

The following:

> actor-\>GetProperty()-\>SetRepresentationToSurface()  
> actor-\>GetProperty()-\>EdgeVisibilityOn()  
> actor-\>GetProperty()-\>SetEdgeColor(0,0,0)

gives you surface representation with all cell edges colored black

Great, thanks, I missed the edge property.
