3D Canvas Options
The 3D Canvas Options window provides a number options for configuring how 3D Canvas works and looks. There are two tabs, the Editing Tab and the Device Tab.

Mouse Style
If you select "3-Button", the middle button of your mouse will be configured for navigation. As a result, the

Device
You may select between Direct3D HAL, meaning Hardware Accelerated, or RGB Emulation. Hardware acceleration is much faster, and should be chosen. Note that simply because you choose Direct3D HAL, doesn't mean that 3D Canvas will run with 3D Acceleration. If you choose a screen resolution or color depth that is not accelerated, RGB Emulation will result. Most older, and some newer, 3D graphics cards do not support 32 bit color depths, so if your desktop is set to 32 bit color (true color), you may not see any hardware acceleration.
