I'm sure the switch to wireframes was not related to the capabilities
or lack of capabilities of the physics cards. It looked like the
wireframes were the solids as they are modeled in the physics engine,
versus the pretty view with high polygon skins which might be used by
vision sensors and the observer view, but not much else. Gazebo has
the same limitation: the physics models simple solids, and not
necessarily the shapes you actually see. Unfortunately, Gazebo doesn't
have a similar "physics" view.

Plus the physics cards have nothing to do with display, and only the
actual physics engine calculations. I'd love to see this sort of
support in Gazebo.
