Allows you to define individual viewing preferences for symbology when viewing 3D models in SmartPlant Foundation, such as color, line weight, line style, and render mode.

  • It is possible to turn off the display of all items except for the selected items. To view all items in the display again, click Outline/Smooth Shaded. This command also reverses any symbology changes applied using the 3D Viewing tab.

  • Line weight and Line style changes only apply to wire frame items.

3D model folder - Defines the location for VUE files. If the folder is not specified, the software does not look for the VUE files.

Streamed 3D data folder - Defines a cache location for streamed 3D data files. By default, your temporary internet files folder is used to cache 3D data files. Specifying none turns off the caching.
