3D view

• Maximum number of points for one 3D scene
  Defines the number of displayed points building up the 3D scene. If the interactive motion of the 3D image is not smooth, a reduction of displayed 3D points helps.  The more points are used, the more precise is the displayed 3D image. Important note: Measurements are always taken in the full set of 3D points.
• Geometry quality
  Changes the geometry  reproduction on the screen from low to high.  Valid for all software components with 3D viewer.
• Texture quality
  Changes the texture reproduction on the screen from low to high. Valid for all software components with 3D viewer.
• Polygon line width
  The line width of polygons is set by moving the slider (e.g. Annotations like Traces, Areas, etc. in the Analyst)
• Custom background colour
  Enabling the checkbox allows the user to change the background colour of the 3D viewer
• Reverse zoom      
  Changes the zoom direction when scrolling the mouse
• Show thumb wheels
  Shows/Hides thumb wheels in the 3D viewer that can be used for rotation and zooming
