You can change several settings that impact how symbols and portions of your model are displayed.

  2. From the Display Preferences dialog box, set the preferences for your simulation session.

    Preferences Description
    Glyph scale factor Enter a scale factor to size feature glyphs globally. The default scale factor is 1. Only feature glyphs that are drawn based on the model size, such as pressure load glyphs, are affected by this scale factor.
    Beam rendering style Choose the style used for display of beam elements. Solid rendering is the most realistic, but it may cause delays in rendering of models with many beam elements.
    Axis system color preference Select a color box to edit the color for an axis.
    Hide connection mesh when connection is hidden Choose whether connection meshes are displayed when the connectors are not displayed.

  3. Close the Display Preferences dialog box.
