what configuration file option controlsthis


view>model display>shade>quality> from 1 to 10 ?????


it is 3 by default??
 
"zrdasti, kak si"


Unfortunally I think it is not controlable with the config.pro. I use a mapkey (like vdm = view display maximum) which sets the surface quality to 10, ticks small surfaces and turns of curves while shaded


Two options which can be set are


edge_display_quality to very_high


skip_small_surfaces to no


Which already help a bit.

The config option is as follows.

save_model_display option
no_display Does not save preview
wireframe Only displays wireframe preview least quality
shading_low Low quality shading "Probably equivalent to Shade quality = 1"
shading_med Medium qualty shading "Probably equivalent to Shade quality = 5"
shading_high High quality shading "Probably equivalent to Shade quality = 10"
shading_lod Saves quality according to the setting in model display dialog or whatever dojo like mapkey you run.

A couple things to note about this setting.

It affects the display of models in Product View or Product View Express, if you save the model with wireframe or no_display quality the model will not have shade or hidden line icons active in Product View. This has been annoying for me for lot of models I created on 2001 Professional with out the shade option. If you are sending out models to others to view with Product View at least select a low quality shade setting.

I think save_model_display shading_lod is required to have that Mapkey work to set how the preview image is saved, but I'm not absolutely sure if it's the default.

Yeah, the save model display option is set to shading_lod. But that config option has no influence on the view display settings model display shading. It are two different things it's not about the saved preview. We usually work in shading quality 10 as we almost do nothing but surface modeling. 3 is to low to visualy verify surface quality. A config option which puts it on 10 by default would be great. Its strange dho, for showing small surfaces there is one ... (skip_small_surfaces)
