That would be difficult, because absolutely everything you see in the
Viewer is made from triangulated meshes. That includes the sky,
terrain, prims, avatars, sculpts, and custom mesh uploads. Go into
wireframe mode and you will see that. Pretty much all that graphics
cards do is color the triangles of the mesh geometry according to the
shader algorithms, input textures, lights, and camera position, and then
deliver the colored frames to your monitor. If you removed all the mesh
stuff, you would end up with a black screen.
If by your comment you mean remove custom mesh uploads, what viewer
problem are they causing that requires their removal?
