      Is there a way to disable (what I call) the "Natural Shadows"??
      It's when you create a basic cube and rotate the view, sides of the cube are turning in to shades of gray.

      Is there a way to remove them?

      Thanks.
      PS: not about turning on the Hidden Line because I want to work with textures but I don't want to see those natural shadows.

        Open the Shadows dialog box (under the Window menu), tick the box for Use sun for shading and set the Light slider to the left and the Dark slider all the way to the right.

        With Light and Dark sliders reversed.

            No. It's not. I was just using your term. πŸ˜‰

            You're welcome. I hope that does what you need.
