The Suppress Hidden Line > Visualize rendering type eliminates edge and surface lines which would otherwise be obscured by other objects in the current view, but slightly exaggerates visible edges and isolines to provide additional visual clarity.
When using the Suppress Hidden Line render mode using the Visualize option, more realistic, slightly shaded edges and surfaces are displayed.
