[SOLVED] CullHint Never for Wireframed Objects

Troubleshooting graphics
1

Hey Guys,
Since I don’t know if this is expected or a bug:
I was trying to draw a Sphere in wireframed mode, however the inner side isn’t visible.

Sphere s = new Sphere(48, 48, radius);/*, false, true);*/
Material m = new Material(getAssetManager(), "Common/MatDefs/Misc/Unshaded.j3md");
m.setColor("Color", ColorRGBA.Cyan);
m.getAdditionalRenderState().setWireframe(true);

Geometry g = new Geometry("DebugShape.ExplosionRadius", s);
g.setLocalTranslation(explosivePosition);
g.setMaterial(m);
g.setCullHint(Spatial.CullHint.Never);

Now I can only see the outer side of the sphere, even though I set CullHint to Never.
If I set the 4th parameter (which is undocumented, by the way!) it inverts the normals, however the outside is invisible then. I can’t have both.

The Main question is: Is this a bug or is it intended, that the wireframe is “one sided”?

Everything is one sided unless you say otherwise.
m.getAdditionalRenderState().setFaceCullMode(FaceCullMode.Off)

CullHint is for the entire spatial
