# How do I configure the 3D Viewer?

Learn about 3D viewer and its Attributes

To configure the 3D Viewer, open your model in BeeGraphy.

1.  Click on the **BeeGraphy icon** in the top-left menu to open the dropdown/+.
    
2.  Select **Settings** to open the dialogue box.
    
3.  Navigate to the **3D Viewer** tab.

**3D Viewer Options**

-   **Grid** – Toggle the ground grid on or off for better spatial reference.
    
-   **Axes** – Enable or disable the XYZ axes to help you orient your model.

-   **Wireframe** – View your geometry in wireframe mode for a clearer look at structure and topology. _(for Output see image below on Left)_
    
-   **Transparent** – Make objects semi-transparent to see internal structures or overlapping geometry. _(for Output see image below on Right)_

-   **Normal** – Displays the **normal vectors** of each point or surface, helping you understand surface orientation and evaluate shading or geometry direction. _(for Output see image below on Left)_
    
-   **Edges** – Highlights the **boundary and internal edges** of your model, useful for inspecting mesh sharpness, topology, and structural clarity. _(for Output see image below on Right)_

-   **LOD (Level of Detail)** – Adjusts the **rendering detail** of your model. Higher LOD shows more complexity, while lower LOD improves performance and navigation speed.
    

### **Quality Settings**

The **Quality** section controls how detailed your model appears in the 3D Viewer.

You can choose from four modes: **Low / Medium / High / Custom**

In **Low, Medium, and High**, BeeGraphy automatically manages all mesh-generation values for you.

**Custom** allows you to manually fine-tune the mesh quality using the following options:

-   **Angular Deflection** – Controls the allowed angle between mesh segments.  
    Lower values = smoother curves.  
    Higher values = faster performance.
    
-   **Minimum Count of Triangles** – Sets the minimum number of triangles used to form your mesh.
    
-   **Maximum Count of Triangles** – Sets the upper limit of triangles to prevent overly heavy geometry.
