Default How to Make X,Y,Z Axes Visible?

Hi,

Quick newbie question. I started working through a video tutorial on how to animate models for X-Plane. In the video, you can see the X, Y, and Z axes as large lines in the center of the screen.

I wasn't able to figure out how to make them visible in my AC3D program the same way. Looked through the manual and searched on these forums without any luck. Selected Show Axis Guides on the Orth dropdown menu, but all I get is a small axis group in the corner, not large and centered.

The Camera 3D view shows the large axes until I import the .dae file. Then the axes disappear.

Could someone enlighten me?


Thanks,
Bill

You need to go into your preferences dialog box (under File menu) and make the display larger. Look in the 3D view tab and increase the 3D axis size.
