List of Prompts
The following prompts are displayed.
Enter option [General Options/acceLeration] <General options>:
General Options
Sets performance-related options that are not hardware dependent.
Discard Backfaces Discards back faces when drawing objects. You cannot see
the effect of discarding back faces on some objects, such as spheres, because
you cannot see the back face even when it is present. The effect of discarding
back faces is visible on objects such as those that don't have a top. Discarding
back faces enhances performance.
Smooth Faces
Transparency Quality Adjusts the transparency quality. At the Low setting,
a screen-door effect achieves transparency without sacrificing speed. At the
Medium setting, the default in software mode, blending improves image
quality. The High setting, the default in hardware mode, produces an image
free of visual artifacts at the cost of drawing speed.
Materials must also be turned on for transparency to be visible.
Exit Ends the command.
Acceleration
Specifies whether to use software or hardware acceleration in 3D.
Hardware Specifies hardware acceleration. The hardware graphics card
performs most of the drawing tasks in 3D to increase performance.
