	How to suppress the tesselation mesh and print only a silhouette of 3D solids?
	Rounded (filleted) 3D solids are meshed using tesselation faces (edges). To switch off these auxiliary lines in hidden views set the `DISPSILH` variable to 1 (and adjust ISOLINES). Applies on the `HIDE` command (and PLOT Hidden), not for `SHADEMODE` Hidden.
