Grid Size
Sets the size of the visible grid in PiXELS:3D units. The
Visible Grid option must be checked before the grid can be
seen.
Grid Color
Clicking on this box opens the Apple color picker, allowing you to set
the color of the grid lines.
Grid Major
Clicking on this box opens the Apple color picker, allowing you to set
the color of the center or origin grid lines (the ones which intersect
at 0,0).
Visible Axis
When checked, this option shows the axis reference icon in the lower
left corner of this viewing pane. When unchecked, the axis reference
icon will be hidden.
Clipping
When checked, portions of objects which are closer than Near Plane or
farther than Far Plane are invisible or clipped. This makes working
with complex scenes much easier, allowing you to focus on a single object
or even a portion of that object.
Absolute/Relative
When the Absolute option is selected,
the clipping planes are considered to be absolute (world space) coordinates.
When the Relative option is selected,
the clipping planes are considered relative to the Camera, so as you
dolly in and out, different portions of the scene appear and disappear.
These options are a Radio Group, which means selecting one will automatically
deselect the other. Both cannot be selected at one time.
Near Plane
When Relative is selected, this
value defines how close an object can be to the Camera before being
clipped. When Absolute is selected,
this value defines the minimum position where, along the orthogonal
(perpendicular) axis to this viewing plane, objects are visible.
Far Plane
When Relative is selected, this
value defines how far an object can be from the Camera before being
clipped. When Absolute is selected,
this value defines the maximum position where, along the orthogonal
(perpendicular) axis to this viewing plane, objects are visible.
