Scaling factor when turning the mouse wheel
At a large factor the navigation becomes quicker, but less precise. Also use the key Ctrl . Sign of this factor determines the reaction for direction of rotation the mouse wheel.
If the box is checked, then the redrawing is carried out in the computer memory and displayed on the screen only at the end. At that there is no image blinking, but the redrawing speed lowers slightly.
If the box is not checked, the redrawing is carried out directly on the screen.
You can adjust a distance on which the cursor will be snapped to points, lines and grid as a result of snap effect.
Lesser sensitivity allows to control mouse more precisely.
Higher sensitivity allows to use some imprecise pointer devices or work with high resolution monitors.
Calculate shadow for active camera
Enable/ disable calculating shadows.
Automatic calculating is performed for the active camera only.
To disable automatic calculating shadows (with keeping already calculated shadows) clear this box.
This box is duplicated in the Main menu of the Graphics window.
Calculate shadow from 3D models
The calculation of shading from complex 3D models - resource-intensive operation.
The calculation is disabled by default to save resources. To enable the calculation of shading from 3D models, mark the Calculate shadows for 3D models box.
Additionally, for each 3D model, which must be taken into account when calculating the shading:
| • | double click on the model to switch it to editing state; |
| • | on the appeared Current construction parameter panel check Shadow checkbox. |
Calculate shadow for active camera once
As a result of clicking this button, shadows for active camera will be calculated once, then the Calculate shadow for active camera box will be cleared and shadows will not be calculated anymore. Shadows have been calculated will be saved in project.
VideoCAD keeps several previous states for the possibility to undo operations using the Undo function.
The number of keeping states can be adjusted in this box. The more states are kept and the more the project size, the more RAM is needed.
Correction factor to bring the physical size of the Monitor window on the computer screen to the value specified in the Monitor diagonal box on the Tool bar of the Monitor window.
To set the factor:
| • | open the Monitor window; |
| • | specify in the Monitor diagonal box on the Tool bar of the Monitor window approximately a half of the physical diagonal of your computer screen. The Monitor window must be visible on the screen as a whole; |
| • | measure by a ruler the physical diagonal of the Monitor window on the computer screen; |
| • | calculate the needed Monitor size factor = (value in the Monitor diagonal box) / (Physical diagonal of the Monitor window). |
The Monitor diagonal is measured in inches. 1 inch = 25.4 mm.
For various physical monitors and screen settings in Windows may require different Monitor size factors.
