Whenever I need to do this I make a copy of the mesh then scale it down very slightly and assign it a solid black material and the other outer mesh I give the wire frame tex. On something like the plane you may need to select groups of vertices and scale these down independantly, otherwise the black object will cut through the wireframe. Basicly try to indentify all the convex groups on the object, then select these, scale down then next group etc.It wouldn't be too much trouble to write a program that can find the normal for each vert and scale it along that axis and get a perfect fit, in fact there probably is one. ———–Will
