  1. Click
  2. Click 3D Graphics to display controls for optimizing graphics and other features:
    • Display Detail specifies Level of Detail (LOD) for terrain, generated assets, and 3D objects. See also Set level_of detail by feature type.
    • Antialiasing

    • Turn shadowing on or off.
    • Ambient Occlusion
    • On high performance monitors, 10-bit channels can resolve gradations that are not smooth. However, if you enable this option, you cannot create screenshots or storyboards.
    • Backface display
