# Outline

Outline allows the user to control the appearance of the outline of the points or surfaces of a mesh. By default, an outline will be present on points and surfaces and can be removed or adjusted.

Adjusting outline settings can help add dimensionality to the appearance of an asset and draw attention to the edges of objects by creating the illusion of shadows.
