156 | Chapter 12 Specify a 3D View
To change the shading mode in 3D Orbit view
1 From the View menu, choose 3D Orbit.
2 Right-click in the drawing area, and choose Shading Modes from the
shortcut menu.
3 Choose one of the following options:
■ Wireframe. Displays the objects in the 3D view using lines and curves
to represent the boundaries.
■ Hidden. Displays the objects in the 3D view using wireframe represen-
tation with the lines representing the back faces hidden.
■ Flat Shaded. Shades the objects in the 3D view between the polygon
faces. This gives the objects a faceted, less smooth appearance.
■ Gouraud Shaded. Shades the objects in the 3D view and smooths the
edges between polygon faces. This gives the objects a smoother, more
realistic appearance.
