Visibility
Displays or hides details or graphics in the 3D View and the Drawing View. For example, you might want to hide the roof to get a better view inside of the tank shell. The elements are not deleted from the model.

Render Mode
Specifies how surfaces and edges display on the model.
Flat Shaded
Displays elements and details with faceted shaded surfaces.
Gouraud Shaded
Displays elements and details with smooth shaded surfaces. This is the default render for the 3D View.

View Orthographic
Displays all objects the same relative size regardless of the distance from the observer.
View Perspective
Specifies that the view should display the tank using perspective rendering. Perspective rendering is characterized by:
-
The size of objects appears smaller as their distance from the observer increases.
-
The size of object dimensions along the line of sight is smaller relative to the dimensions across the line of sight.
