After you specify these points, the Adjust Spherical Coordinates dialog box
is redisplayed.
Polar Axis Position
Shows a parallel projection of the object’s mesh onto a plane perpendicular
to the current axis. It also shows the projection axis with a blue circle (the
center of the circle is the projection axis). A green radius shows the wrap
line. You can move the axis by using the scroll bars.
By default, the axis is placed at the center of the extents in all three
directions, and the wrap line is placed toward minimum Z—or minimum
Y when the Z axis is parallel to the spherical coordinate system axis. (When
you specify the points for the sphere, its dimensions aren’t based on the
extents.)
Preview
Displays a bitmap image of the selected material and its mapping coordinate.
The Preview area displays a gray image if a material is not attached.
Adjust UVW Coordinates Dialog Box
View menu: Render

Mapping
Command line: setuv
Adjusts the three coordinate values to shift a solid, 3D material: marble, granite,
or wood.
Unlike the other Adjust Coordinates dialog boxes, this dialog box doesn’t
show a map position. Choose Preview to see the effect of shifting a 3D material.
