The Options window shows configuration values for the current open project, or the global defaults if no projects are open.
Note: Many Site3D project settings can be set in a more user friendly way from specific property windows, for example the Project Options Window and the Section View Display Properties Window.
To access the Options window click the Tools->Options... menu option.
Choose from the drop-down menu whether to edit settings for a particular project, or your global settings. If you have one or more projects open, you can choose which one to edit the configuration for.
The Global settings are the default settings that will be used the next time a new project is created. Changing the global settings will generally have no affect on an existing project.
Your entire organisation can use a single configuration file so that you all use the same settings.
To achieve this is quite straight forward; one user configures their global settings the way that is wanted for the whole organisation, then their configuration file is copied to a shared folder that everyone can access (for instance, on a network drive).
Here is the step-by-step process to do it:
To utilise the enterprise configuration, each user need only set the one global EnterpriseOptionsPath setting, like this:
If you subsequently want to update the enterprise configuration, you would need to first copy the Site3D-enterprise.ini file back to the Site3D-user.ini in the %appdata%\Site3D folder for the user. This must be done when Site3D is not open. Then simply do the above procedure again, updating the settings as desired, and copying back to the Site3D-enterprise.ini file in the shared folder.
On the left of the window is a list containing all the settings that can be altered.
Above the list is a search box that you can type in to quickly find a setting. As you type, a setting which contains the text will highlight.
Pressing the Find button will jump to the next setting which contains the text in the search box. Holding down the Shift key when you press the Find button will search in the reverse direction.
Selecting an item from this list will display a description of the selected setting, shown in a box to the right. Under the description the current value is displayed, this can be set as appropriate for your usage.
Here is the complete list of the currently configurable settings:
| Setting | Description | Data Type/Range | Default value |
