Hi all,
My first post to the forum. I managed to get a model into the wire frame mode, but that was a week ago. Now I can’t figure out how to make it revert to the standard mode.
Thanks in advance,

First check under the View menu and change the Face Style from Wireframe to the desired alternate style.
Hi Millright74, hi folks.
Alternatively, you can also use View menu → Face style to make the Face Style Palette visible. Then, position it where it is convenient for you, for example, on the left side or the top of the Model window.
With this palette visible, you are only one click away from many rendering possibilities.
Just ideas.

The sequence that jean-lemire cited does not exist.
He knows how to do it, but he knows it so well that he cannot give a beginner an accurate sequence of tasks…
The ACTUAL methods for displaying and using this MENU Palette is this:
- pull down the View Menu
- Select the Toolbars menu item
- Check the Styles toolbar option
- Put the standalone Styles menu where you want it
- Use the Styles menu to select from:
Xray
Back Edges
Wireframe
Hidden Line
Shaded
Shaded with Textures
Monochrome
You are welcome !
If you’re using SketchUp Web (the free version), which doesn’t have the menu bar at the top, you can click on Styles (it should be on the right-hand menu bar) > Default Styles, and then select which style you want.
Hope this helped!
I should have checked your profile to see that you are using the Windows version of SketchUp. I use the Mac OS version.
However, the idea is the same, showing the Face Style tool palette. On Mac it can be done using the customization of the Toolbar. Do a right click on it then slide the Face Style tool palette on the Tool bar at the top of the Drawing window. I know it is different for SU on Window. It is like you describe it.
In my post I should have stated that the procedure gives you access to a list of the available Face Styles from which you can choose the required one. It don’t show the Tool palette.
