This option is used to display objects as a bounding box when you move them or the scene around. This option speeds up navigation in the working scene.
In the center of an empty scene is a table on top of a grid.
You build your model on the table and use the grid and the table as visual references to locate yourself in space.
However, you may want to hide the grid or the table.
Click on this command to hide the table. Click again to have it re-appear.
Caution, you must restart Amapi 3D for your choice to take effect.

This interface works as follows:
· Select the element using the cursor.

You will just need to set a value between 1 and 10.
A value of 1 is the slowest speed and a value of 10 the fastest.
