Wireframe of a Hexahedron using Graphics3D?
3
Are there options in Graphics3D that would allow me to set the face color of a Hexahedron to None or make the faces transparent?
I did try FaceForm. But this may not work with Graphics3D primitives (or I am using it incorrectly).
I have the following code:
hexCoordinates = {{-12.5, -10,-6},{-12.5,10,6},{12.5,10,6},12.5,-10,6},{-6.5,-4,0}, {-6.5,4,0},{6.5,4,0},{6.5,-4,0}};
hexShape := Hexahedron[hexCoordinates];
Graphics3D[hexShape, Axes->True, FaceGrids->All, ImageSize->Full, Lighting->{{"Ambient",None}}]

Quit the kernel and run the code from this question. Then fix the code and update the question. Also, what did you try with FaceForm? It seems to work:Graphics3D[{FaceForm@None, Hexahedron}].

Thanks for the catch. I tried FaceForm in the options list but received an error: "An improperly formatted option was encountered while reading a Graphics".

I gues the solution is FaceForm.
Graphics3D[{
{Ball[{1, 1, 1}/2, 1/5]},
{FaceForm, EdgeForm[{Thick, Blue}], Hexahedron}
},
FaceGrids -> All,
Axes -> True,
Boxed -> False
]

This works if you don't need FaceGrids->All. It looks like FaceForm causes FaceGrids and Axes to be ignored. I am wondering if there is a way to have FaceForms with Axes->True and FaceGrids->All.

@DougKimzey are you sure you are following syntax from documentation? E.g. how did you end up with FaceForm in options in the first place. Now, what is the code you are descirbing above?

If I use: Graphics3D[hexShape, FaceForm, Axes->True, FaceGrids->All], the axes and grids appear but the hexahedron is solid. An error message appears: "An improperly formatted option was encountered..." If I use Graphics3D[{{hexShape, FaceForm, Axes->True, FaceGrids->All}}] FaceForm, Axes and FaceGrids are ignored.
