Viewer Preference

Function 

Canvas Margin

Sets the viewer's margin mode:  

    • Fit - The margin of the viewer will fit into the browser window. Depending on the size of the window, the viewer will either align with the left/right margin or the top/bottom. 
    • Fill – The margin of the viewer will fill into the browser window. 

Lighting

Sets the viewer's lighting mode:

    • Ambient – The viewer will be set to the ambient lighting mode, which produces smoother and more even lighting of the displayed models.
    • Headlight – The viewer will be set to a lighting mode, which uses a combination of ambient lighting and a directional headlight. This mode produces similar results to how scenes are displayed inside of the V-Suite CORE viewer.

Compass Off

Select this option to hide the Compass by default.

Slider Off

Select this option to hide the Zoom Slider by default. 

Memory Limit 

Specifies the level of memory to be used when loading Knowledge Views. The memory used at Recommended and Maximum levels is dependent upon your browser.

 

    • Chrome – 125MB at Recommended / 500MB at Maximum. 
    • IE – 40MB at Recommended / 160MB at Maximum.
    • Firefox – 75MB at Recommended / 300MB at Maximum. 

 

This memory level is the limit of allowable memory by the viewer. Opening a small Knowledge View, for example, will still use minimal system resources even if the memory level is at Maximum.

 

CAUTION is advised with the Maximum memory level, as it may result in slower performance of the viewer.
