Chapter 12. Display Modes
The Rendering Styles toolbar controls the appearance of the model in the main navigation window. From
this you can control the lighting effect, the rendering type and enable or disable the different types of
primitives drawn. Linked with the display options (see Section 12.5, “ Display Options ” later in this
chapter) and file options (see Section 19.1, “ File Options ”, this enables you to fully control the
appearance of the JetStream main navigation window.
