Note:
  • When VSFACESTYLE is set to 1 or 2, setting the VSSHADOWS system variable to 0 (off) will result in enhanced 3D performance for pan, zoom, and orbit operations.
  • Existing visual styles are not changed when you enter a new value for this system variable. Any new value entered for this system variable temporarily creates an unsaved new visual style.
