mat_leafvis 1
Displays the leaf that the player is currently occupying in red wireframe.

mat_wireframe [0/1/2/3]

mat_wireframe 0
This setting is default. It doesn't display any wireframes.
mat_wireframe 1
This setting displays all the leaves that is visible in the PVS, using red polygons. It is useful for determining how many leaves are calculated in total, but has the most potential for clutter.
mat_wireframe 2
This setting displays all the brush leaves in the players line-of-sight, using green polygons, hiding the ones he cannot see.
mat_wireframe 3
This setting displays the leaves using pink squares, identical to the current leaf displayed with the mat_leafvis variable.
