The Document Properties dialog appears.
2.
Click the Display Interactivity tab.

3.
Enable an Interactive Speed mode.

of Detail option, and specify a value by using the cor-
responding slider or by entering a value directly in
the appropriate box.
Note:
You can set the Level of Detail option in the
Solution stage only.
