The Shortcut Menu

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.
