Use the User Preferences dialog box to customize the way you work with Showcase. Many of the controls found here are also available from the Showcase Options menu or elsewhere in Showcase.

Default Unit Preferences

These work the same as described in Adjust scene settings. Changes made in the Scene Settings dialog box override settings in the User Preferences dialog box for the current scene.

Locator Grips

Use these controls to show or hide light, decal, and cross-section grips as needed. These controls are also found in the Options menu. Changes made here are reflected in the Options menu, and vice versa, and they are global; in other words, they remain in place until you change them again, even if you open a different scene.

Selection Style

This controls how a selected object is highlighted. Like the Locator Grips, changes to this setting are reflected in the Options menu and are global. See Select objects.

Heads-up Display

The heads-up display provides you with instructions and information to help you use Showcase. Changes to these settings are reflected in the Options menu and are global.

Background Color

Sets the color to use behind the scene environment.

Inventor Import Settings

Use these as described in Import Inventor files.

Walk Zone
