No, it’s actually a pretty standard dome-ish tent: mesh sides, bathtub floor. The “switch” aspect is just that you can set it up rainfly-only, which Nemo markets as a beach / shade shelter. That’s not via Hilleberg-style cleverness, but because the poles clip together using these DAC swivel clips. So long as the poles are secured at their ends (in the grommets on the inner tent, the dedicated straps Nemo provides for shade shelter setup, or the footprint), they stand up on their own, then you can connect either the inner, the fly, or both.
I’ll post some more photos the next time I have it set up (for the dog door mesh repair).
