HW Shading
The HW Shading, or hardware shading, option enables computers with certain video
cards to display multiple textures within Layout. It also enables supported cards to use a
high-level shading option known as GLSL. Not all video cards support these options, so
check the specifications for your particular video card before applying these.
Grid
Also within the View menu, you can find the Grid Size control in
the Grid category. If you recognize that LightWave is a big 3D universe
that you work within, it should be easy to understand that the
Grid Size is the default unit of measurement you work with. In
Layout (and Modeler, too), Grid Size is always displayed in the
lower left corner of the LightWave workspace. By default, this measurement
is 1 meter in size, as you can see in Figure 2.49.
This means that every grid square you see in Layout, from any view, is 1 meter in size.Count
three squares, and that??™s 3 meters, and so on. The reason you can increase and decrease the
Grid Size in the View menu is because not all objects are scaled equally.
