• Position keys display as red boxes
surrounding the appropriate frame dot on
the curve. The boxes are white when t he
object is selected.
• IfViews>ShowKeyTimesisturnedon,the
keyframe numbers are displayed along side
the keys on the tr ajectory.
Trajectories can also be displayed through
Object Properties. Right-click any object
and choose Properties, then in the Display
properties group change By Layer to By
Object. Turn on Trajectories when it
becomes available in the Display Proper ties
group.
You can change the colors for these items on
the Colors panel (page 3–799) of the Customize
User Interface dialog.

The first three options reduce the displayed
geometric complexity of selected objects in a
scene, resulting in f aster response time because the
computerhaslesstocalculate.Theseoptionsare
also available in the Display Properties group of
the Object Properties d ialog > General panel (page
1–117) and the D isplay floater (page 3–775).
Display a s B ox—Toggles the display of selected
objects,including3Dobjectsand2Dshapes,as
bounding boxes (page 3–919).Producesminimum
geometric complexity.
Part icle systems appear as b ounding b oxes when
adaptive degradation takes effect. Because particle
systems naturally exist in world space, their
bounding box is always oriented parallel to the
world planes.
Backface Cull—Toggles the display of faces, edges,
and vertices with normals (page 3–980) pointing
away from the point of view. When off, all entities
are visible. Default=off.
Edges Only—Toggles the display of hidden edges
and polygon diagonals (page 3–928).Whenon,
only outside edges appear. When off, all mesh
geometry appears. Applies to Wireframe v iew por t
