the turntable left and right respectively.
Holding down the SHIFT key or spinning
the mouse wheel, temporarily switches this

lies and pans the camera so that the entire

Opens the Help system.
The Shortcut Menu
Right-clicking in the Navigator window opens a shortcut menu.
Focus on Item Focuses the camera on the selected item. The point you click becomes the focal point for examine,
orbit, and turntable navigation modes.
Speed
Frame Rate Specifies the number of frames per second (FPS) that are rendered in the Navigator window.
The default setting is 6. You can set the frame rate from 1 through 20 frames per second. Reducing the value
reduces drop-out, but can cause jerky movement during navigation. Increasing the value ensures a smoother
navigation, but increases drop-out.
Hardware Acceleration Select this option to utilize any available OpenGL hardware acceleration on your video
card.
NOTE If your video card does not support OpenGL hardware acceleration, this option is not available.
Viewpoint
Rendering Selects rendering mode for your model. Choose from:
■ Shaded - renders the model with smooth shading and without textures. This is the default option.
■ Wireframe - renders the model in wireframe; all triangle edges are visible in this mode.
■ Hidden Line - renders the model in hidden line; this is equivalent to rendering model as shaded and wireframe
at the same time. The output is low quality as all the facet edges in the model are visible.
Lighting Selects lighting mode for your model. Choose from:
■ No Lights - turns off lighting. The model is shaded with flat rendering.
