2. In the Navigation Help section, select any of these options:
   • Show View Cube - Displays the View Cube when enabled. To hide it, disable this option.
   • View Cube Position - Sets the location of the View Cube and Navigation Bar. Choose from Top Right, Top Left, Bottom Right, or Bottom Left.
   • View Cube Size - Sets the size of the View Cube. Choose from Tiny, Small, Normal, the default, or Large.
