* Preview performance is improved if you do not run other major applications simultaneously.

 

** Preview requires the color settings for your display to be set to either 16-bit or 32-bit colors. If 8-bit (256 colors) or 24-bit color is used, the model images will appear with sporadic coloration. 16-bit color provides adequate color, but it does not allow the slice images to be shown with the full 8 bits of grayscale. 32-bit color should always be used when possible.
