Background Color
This option allows you to select or mix a background color for the main view. Setting the background color
is equivalent to setting a Plain Background on the Effects tab of the Presenter dialog box. This option is
only available if you have the NavisWorks Presenter tool.
Setting the background color:
1. On the Tools menu, click Background Color.
2. Select the color from the Windows™ color palette.
3. Click OK to set the background color or Cancel to exit the dialog box without setting it.
Culling Options
There are three methods of culling objects in NavisWorks: backface, by area, and by near or far plane. All
of these options are configurable using the Culling tab of the File Options dialog box.
Backface culling only draws the front face of every polygon in NavisWorks, which is clearly faster.
Sometimes, however, the conversion process mixes up the front and back face of polygons and so you
have to tell NavisWorks to draw both sides in order to not see right through some objects.
Area culling options allow you to set the size of objects within a model that will not be displayed. For
example, if you were to set the value to 100 pixels any object within the model that would be drawn less
than 10x10 pixels in size will not be displayed.
Culling options by near and far plane allows some degree of control over the resolution of the axis
