The 3D viewing options for the Breadboard View and Virtual NI ELVIS are set in the 3D Options tab of the Global Options dialog box.

Complete the following steps to change the 3D options:

  1. Select Options»Global options and click on the 3D Options tab.
  2. Optionally, click on Background color to display a standard Color dialog box where you can adjust the background color as desired.
  3. Disable the Show target holes checkbox if you do not wish to see where the targets for jumper wires are when placing them.
  4. Disable the Show completion feedback checkbox if you do not wish components and wires on the schematic to change color as they are placed and wired on the breadboard.
  5. In the Info box area:
    • Info box—Disable this checkbox if you do not wish to see the box at the top of the Breadboard View that shows components information.
    • Left—Places components information box at top-left.
    • Center—Places components information box at top-center.
    • Right—Places components information box at top-right.
  6. In the 3D performance box:
    • Move the slider as desired to improve graphic performance. More Details cause a slower screen refresh rate.
    • Enable the Custom checkbox and disable the features that you do not wish to see (Show breadboard numbers, Show lights, Show reflections, Show transparent indicators).

        Disabling Show Breadboard Numbers will result in a much quicker refresh rate.
