Hello,

In communicator, is it possible to set a drawing mode on just a specific set of nodes, and not the entire view like this example;

```
 var hiddenLineSettings = hwv.view.getHiddenLineSettings();
 hiddenLineSettings.setObscuredLineOpacity(0);
 hwv.view.setDrawMode(Communicator.DrawMode.HiddenLine);

```

Hello @justin.larosa,

[Draw modes](https://docs.techsoft3d.com/communicator/latest/prog_guide/viewing/scene_attributes/draw-modes.html#draw-modes) are limited at only the `View` level. So it is not possible to set different draw modes on a specific set of nodes.

I can tell you that we already have a feature request to expand setting draw modes to `Model` nodes. No further updates are available at this time on this feature request, however.

Thanks,  
Tino
