Mesh on downloaded models

[rasa]

Hello everyone,
I have been using sketchup of a few months now, and have problem with models that can be download. Is there a way of hiding their mesh without individually selecting the edges and hiding. I am aware that the mesh does not show up after a rendering, but when presenting on a sketchup level the colour of the model is overshadowed by the mesh and ends up seen as a black blob( ).
Suggestions are welcome.
Thank you.
Rasa.

You can turn off edge display under Window > Style > In model > Edit > Edge settings in general.

If you only want to hide edges in certain groups, edit the group, turn your face style into wireframe, select all the edges with a selection box (no triple clicking!) and hide.
Clode the group and turn your normal style on again.

You can also select by right click on the mesh, and choose "Soften Edges".

Thank you, for the quick reply. No more blobs.
