I used the ‘representation’ tap in the ‘Model’ module (surface → wireframe).  
But, its pattern is not clear (messy).  
How can I trasform a model in this way? (added a picture)

What do you mean? The mesh in the picture above looks nice.

Add a picture. (It’s not my work, just example made by another man.)

I adjusted the transparency by ‘opacity’, but it was not like that above.

In Models module, Display / Representation section, change Representation from `Surface` (default) to `Wireframe`.

Here is the python script

```
 n= getNode('muModel')
 d=n.GetDisplayNode()
 d.SetRepresentation(slicer.vtkMRMLDisplayNode.WireframeRepresentation)
```
