[Gmsh] Editing imported file in GUI

[Aaron Kiefer]

GMSH Users,

I've suffered through a few hours of removing volumetric parts of my.geo file so it can be meshed in 2D.  From working through the menus with GMSH, it appears that the .geo file cannot be displayed with solid surfaces as a .step file can?  If anyone has ideas, please let me know - I'm going cross eyed staring at the little crossed surface regions trying to determine which surface belongs where.

Thanks,

Gents,

I'm attempting to edit a .geo file that I imported as a .step from Solidworks using the GUI in GMSH 2.11.  I'd like to display the surfaces as shaded solids so I know which ones I'm selecting.  The 'solid' surface display is selected in the geometry/visibility tab but GMSH appears to be showing the 'wireframe' or maybe the 'cross' surface display?

Thanks in advance,
