Intergraph FreeView provides settings that enable you to move faster through the model or improve the
model display. There are five preset options you can use to select the best balance
of motion performance and image quality. You can set performance for each file you
open in Intergraph FreeView.

Performance Control Options

-
High Quality – Settings for very good visual effects settings. The performance may be slow.

Details - Click the Hide/Show Details button to toggle the list of visual and performance settings affected by the selected option.
When shown, the detail section is a read-only display that shows the state of a setting
for the option. Most of these settings are On/Off, but some have values or specific
modes.
-
A dashed line "-" in the State column indicates that the setting for the selected option is not applicable.
-
An asterisk "*" in the State column along with red text indicates that the setting for the preset option does
not match what is set in the current project. When you release the mouse from the
slider or use keyboard control keys, the setting state or value is changed in the
project to match what is defined for the selected performance option.
You can see the different values for settings as you move the slider to each option.
In the figure below, you see the settings change for certain values when you move
from the Balanced option to the High Quality option.
Once you select High Performance and release the mouse, the Measurements setting will automatically be set to Off.

-
When you release the mouse button, the display and motion setting values defined for
the selected option are automatically set.
The asterisk is removed from the State column and the text changes to black. The software changes the model display accordingly.
