In the Style group, you can choose a predefined theme and/or modify the default parameters:

  • the 3D scene background (a single color, a gradient, a fixed image or a skybox background),

  • the selection color

  • the character size.

Custom theme

Select the Application theme "Custom" to unlock more styling options.



You can edit your Navigation settings:

  • Select the Camera profile you will have in the 3D view. Note that will also change the current one inside the active document:

    • 3DReshaper: the rotation of the view is done with the right mouse button, which allows to make simple and rectangular selection with the left mouse button.

    • Cyclone 3DR: this mode allows interacting with the 3D view as in other Cyclone applications.

  • Select the Cursor type:

    • Windows: the default Windows cursor.

    • 3D: a cursor virtually displayed in the scene.

    • Windows and 3D

  • Enable camera animations to get smoother camera animations (Zoom All and Predefined Views, among others).


If you have compatible hardware, you may Enable the rendering in stereo mode (see Technical information below):

  • Swap rendering side: invert left and right rendering.

  • Parallax angle: the parallax effect between left and right rendering.

Technical information

To enable the rendering in stereo mode, you must have a compatible hardware:

  • A graphics card compatible with the quad-buffer rendering technology (Nvidia Quadro).

  • A specific display capable of stereo visualization (tested with a 3D Pluraview display).

  • Both screens of the 3D display must be connected directly to the graphics card like recommended by the 3D display manufacturer.

Before enabling the stereo in Cyclone 3DR settings, you also have to activate the 3D display mode in the Windows settings (and restart the application):

  • Settings → Display → 3D display mode

Known limitations

  • Texts cannot be displayed in 3D.

  • Basically, stereo rendering is not compatible with orthographic camera modes. However it is possible to use them and see depth effect. In case of trouble, when an orthographic camera is mandatory, you can temporary lift up the Pluraview glass screen.

  • Computer requirements are higher when using stereo rendering. It could be necessary to reduce the display resolution for instance from 4K to 2K.
