Size Specifies the size of the ViewCube. You can choose from the following options:
■ Automatic
■ Tiny
■ Small
■ Medium
■ Large
NOTE In automatic mode, the size of the ViewCube is relative to the size of the Scene Area, and ranges between
medium and tiny.
Inactive Opacity When the ViewCube is inactive, that is your cursor is distant from the ViewCube, it appears
transparent. To control the opacity level, choose from the following options:
■ 0%
■ 25%
■ 50%
■ 75%
■ 100%
Keep Scene Upright Indicates whether the upside-down orientations of the scene is allowed when you use the
ViewCube.
When this check box is selected, dragging the ViewCube produces a turntable effect.
When Dragging on the ViewCube
While being dragged, the ViewCube and the scene rotate in an arcball like fashion, unless the Keep Scene Upright
check box is selected.
Snap to the Closest View Indicates whether the ViewCube snaps to one of the fixed views when it is angularly
close to one of the fixed views.
When Clicking on the ViewCube
Fit-to-View on Change When this check box is selected, clicking the ViewCube rotates around the center of
the scene and zooms out to fit the scene into the Scene Area. When dragging the ViewCube, prior to the drag,
the view changes to look at the scene center (but does not zoom) and continues to use that as the pivot point
while dragging.
If this check box is clear, clicking or dragging the ViewCube rotates around the current pivot point and does not
zoom in or out.
Use Animated Transitions When Switching Views If this check box is selected, an animated transition displays
when you click on a section of the ViewCube to help you visualize the spatial relationship between the current
viewpoint and the selected viewpoint.
NOTE When navigating about 3D scenes that contain vast amounts of geometry, the application frame rate may drop
and make it difficult for the system to smoothly animate a viewpoint transition.
Show the Compass Below the ViewCube Indicates whether the compass is displayed below the ViewCube tool.
