Wireframe of a Hexahedron using Graphics3D?












3












$begingroup$


Are there options in Graphics3D that would allow me to set the face color of a Hexahedron to None or make the faces transparent?



I did try FaceForm. But this may not work with Graphics3D primitives (or I am using it incorrectly).



I have the following code:



hexCoordinates = {{-12.5, -10,-6},{-12.5,10,6},{12.5,10,6},12.5,-10,6},{-6.5,-4,0}, {-6.5,4,0},{6.5,4,0},{6.5,-4,0}};

hexShape := Hexahedron[hexCoordinates];

Graphics3D[hexShape, Axes->True, FaceGrids->All, ImageSize->Full, Lighting->{{"Ambient",None}}]

    Quit the kernel and run the code from this question. Then fix the code and update the question. Also, what did you try with FaceForm? It seems to work: Graphics3D[{FaceForm@None, Hexahedron}].

    Thanks for the catch. I tried FaceForm in the options list but received an error: "An improperly formatted option was encountered while reading a Graphics".

I gues the solution is FaceForm.



Graphics3D[{
{Ball[{1, 1, 1}/2, 1/5]},
{FaceForm, EdgeForm[{Thick, Blue}], Hexahedron}
},
FaceGrids -> All,
Axes -> True,
Boxed -> False
]


boxWithFaceGrids

    This works if you don't need FaceGrids->All. It looks like FaceForm causes FaceGrids and Axes to be ignored. I am wondering if there is a way to have FaceForms with Axes->True and FaceGrids->All.

    If I use: Graphics3D[hexShape, FaceForm, Axes->True, FaceGrids->All], the axes and grids appear but the hexahedron is solid. An error message appears: "An improperly formatted option was encountered..." If I use Graphics3D[{{hexShape, FaceForm, Axes->True, FaceGrids->All}}] FaceForm, Axes and FaceGrids are ignored.
