Shade

The Shade command temporarily shades the viewport.

Command-line options

DisplayMode

Changes the display mode to Shaded, Rendered, Ghosted, XRay, Technical, Artistic, Pen, Monochrome, Arctic, or Raytraced with the current command-line option applied.

• In the Shade command, switching the viewport to a display mode not supported by the DisplayMode option, e.g., Wireframe, cancels the Shade command.

DrawCurves

Displays curve objects.

DrawCurves

Displays isoparametric curves and edges.

DrawGrid

Displays the construction plane grid.

DrawAxes

Displays the construction plane axes.

The ShadeSelected command toggles the ShadeSelected mode. When the ShadeSelected mode is on, in any shaded kind of display mode, objects will only be shaded when they are selected. When isocurves and edges are turned off (i.e., the Rendered mode), you will not see anything until you select something.
