Display Preferences


Parameter	Description
Black and white only	Objects are drawn using only the colors black and white; this choice overrides any other color settings (including viewport settings) and is used mainly for printing
Hide wall components when layer scale < = 1:	Select to hide wall components when the layer is set to, or is below, the scale ratio specified (does not affect wall component display in viewports; see Advanced Sheet Layer Viewport Properties to show or hide components in viewports)
Save viewport cache	Indicates whether to save viewport caches and radiosity solutions in the file; saving the cache may increase file size, but saves time when files that contain viewports and viewports rendered with radiosity renderings (RenderWorks required) are opened. If deselected, any viewports will require updating when the file is opened, and any viewport radiosity solutions will require regeneration, but file size is reduced. Note that the viewport cache(s) are already compressed to PNG or JPEG format to save space (the format depends on the selection in VectorWorks preferences; see Edit Preferences for more information).
Use layer colors	When specific pen and fill colors have been set for a design layer, draws all objects on that layer with the specified colors (see Setting the Design Layer Color)
Mesh smoothing with crease angle	Smoothes mesh objects rendered with OpenGL or RenderWorks; enter a higher crease angle value for a smoother surface (valid values are 0 to 180).
