How can 3D Stager show models as wire frames to help position on background??

In Substance 3D Stager, I am trying to fit 3d models into a photograph, replacing objects already in the photo.

 

How can I get a wireframe view to see how the model fits over the object it replaces?

 

Even making the model transparent would be a help. I need to be able to go from solid to see through.

 

Right now, the 3D model covers everything, and I have no idea if it is positioned right.

Stager does not have wireframe mode.  The closest thing would be to temporarily apply another material like a transparent one.  Toggling the visibility in the scene panel on/off quickly may also be a good proxy.

    That will work, but it's a big pain. Adobe is adding AI all over the place, they need to add a wireframe toggle. It will help with positioning stuff.

    If you're compositing in Photoshop, the new Substance Viewer will in combination with Photoshop beta will do what you need.
