Setting model preferences

Model preferences allow you to select the visual characteristics of the Map and Model layers, including the number of pages on the layer, the fonts used for labels on the layer, the size of the alignment grid, the size of converter icons, which building blocks are animated during a simulation, and many other options related to how entities are displayed on the Map and Model layers.

The preferences you select also apply if you print the Map or Model layers (with the File > Print Model command) or save the model to a file (with the File > Save As Image commands).

Model preference settings apply to the current model only.

1. Navigate to the Map or Model layer.

2. From the Model menu, choose Model Prefs.

   The Model Preferences dialog box opens.

3. Select the options you want to use.
4. Click OK.
