About Visualization Modes

High Quality

High quality is used for representations. It is more precise and accurate.

Material (internal to the representation), edges, wireframe, and lineic elements rendering modes are available.

Optimized Quality

Optimized quality is used for representations. It is faster to load, and faster to navigate.

Only the Shading option is available. Material, edges, wireframe, and lineic elements rendering modes can be selected but have no effect on the visualization.

Important:

On premises, if the Optimized Quality mode is enabled but has not been generated, the command is grayed out and High Quality mode is used as a fallback since it is always available.
On the cloud, the Optimized Quality mode is available only if you have acquired tokens for the multiscale HD navigation.

Default Visualization Mode

By default, the Optimized Quality mode is activated.

The visualization mode is not persistent. Therefore, reloading the view changes the visualization mode to optimized quality and applies the Shading rendering mode.

Note: You can define the default quality mode in the widget Preferences. For more information, see Choosing Preferences.

Loading Boxes

Thanks to progressive loading, large amounts of data can now be dynamically loaded into a 3D viewer. Convergence of a viewpoint might take tens of seconds, and it is sometimes difficult to see where geometry is loading or missing. Loading boxes indicate where the loading of objects has not been completed. They are drawn for all leaf objects of the model in memory that have not been loaded.

Boxes with 70% transparency are placeholders for geometry yet to be loaded. Boxes with 100% transparency are placeholders for assembly references when the progressive expand has not gone deep enough yet to display the complete branch from root to representation. Once the loading boxes are displayed, they either:

Progressively disappear as the geometry is loading, until viewpoint convergence ("Loading complete" displayed in the status bar).
Stay on the screen if the memory limit is reached ("Loading stopped" displayed in the status bar). You can then navigate to a more precise viewpoint that will allow the loading to complete.

Two Preferences allow you to manage loading boxes and let you:

select the how long you want to display the loading boxes.
select the color of the loading boxes.

For more information, see Choosing Preferences.
