Block model edges and faces

You use these functions to show or hide the faces of a block model. When you hide faces, the block model becomes transparent. You also use these functions to hide block model edges which you might do, especially when the block size is small, to remove lines and make it easier to see annotations, colours, or other data in the block model.
