Thanks for your efforts. It seems that the outline of the mesh only appears when the puppet starch tool is used rather than the regular puppet tool.

<p>In the tutorial I am viewing online, the teacher is able to view the mesh outline without the mesh triangles by selecting the mesh in the effects list within the layer. Its unclear even from putting the question into Google how to do this? Can anyone help? Hopefully the attached image illustrates what I mean.</p>
