Hi Eugene,

The EdgeVisiblility var is used in vtkOOGLExporter and since vtk5.1 in 
vtkShader.

The easiest way to get edge visibility is to create an vtkAssembly, 
adding your model twice- once with surface rep and once with wireframe 
rep. You'll probably need to use vtkMapper's ResolveCoincidentTopology 
settings.
