You can specify that no members are drawn, or you can draw them as Wireframe (with a Label or Color Code) or Rendered.

Click on the Members slider to not display the members in the model at all.

With the Wireframe options you can include textual member information alongside each member. The Labeling drop down list provides the choices you have as to what information to be displayed alongside each member. The Wireframe option also lets you display member Pinned End conditions and/or either Rigid End Offsets.

Wireframe options also include color coding members which plot the members using various colors to represent particular information such as, the section set assigned to each member, member type, etc. Use the Color Coding drop down list that provides the choices you have as to how the colors are to be assigned to each member. The key that defines these colors is shown in the upper right corner of the model view.

The Rendering option produces true-to-scale renderings of the members. These can be rendered full length or pulled back by a specified distance or a percentage of the member length for a better understanding of complicated intersection areas and a better view of the member cross-section. This option is also very useful for verifying member orientations and adjusting the the transparency of the rendering.

The Detailing Info check box pertains to information that is for export through the CIS\2 Translator. See the Cardinal Points topic for more information.
