    Preferences Description
    Credentials

    Credentials are used inside the widget to apply rules and visibility on the data under manipulation. They also determine the location of new objects. They enable you to choose among all credentials available for the connected user on the current 3DEXPERIENCE Platform.

    From the proposed list, select credentials. (The list is based on the credentials that are available to your user.)

    Use Index

    Gets the information about the content directly from the index.

    Note: If content is modified, the widget switches to database mode to get the last modifications.

    Clear this option to have the widget content fully based on the database.

    The index enables better response times, but recent updates may not yet have been indexed. In that case, accessing the content directly in the database enables you to have the most up-to-date information.

    By default, this option is activated.

    Geometry Quality Defines the default geometry quality:
    • Optimized
    • High
    Note: The High quality setting can impact all data already loaded, the loading performances, and the 3D navigation FPS.

    By default, the Optimized option is selected.
    Display Work Under

    Displays the Change Action bubble to allow the selection of the change action under which you want to work.

    By default, this option is activated.

    Work Under Position

    Lets you choose the position in the widget of the Change Action bubble:

    • Lower-right corner
    • Lower-left corner
    • Upper-right corner
    • Upper Left Corner

    Use Simplified Geometry as default geometry stream

    Defines the simplified geometry (HD, precise, and accurate) as the default geometry stream to load.

    By default, this option is deactivated. The default geometry stream loads as indexed simplified geometry (non-HD, simplified).
