        :alt: Preferences.

**Camera FOV**
    Sets the field of view of the :ref:`3D View<3dview>` camera, between 1 and 179 degrees, allowing the perspective to be tailored to your preference.

**Pan Marker**
    The Pan Marker is used to display the point about which the :ref:`3D View<3dview>` is orbited.

    * Disabled - the Pan Marker is never displayed.
    * Static - the Pan Marker will be drawn in a static location when the camera is translated within the :ref:`3D View<3dview>`.
    * Dynamic - the Pan Marker moves with the reference point, to highlight its location when the camera is translated within the :ref:`3D View<3dview>`.

**Highlight Selection**
    The Highlight Selection drop-down list is used to choose how a selected source is highlighted in the :ref:`3D View<3dview>`.

    * Disabled - no highlight is drawn.
    * Static (Blue) - the selection is outlined in blue.
    * Dynamic Colour - the selection is outlined in a colour assigned dynamically.

**Show Layer Outlines**
    Enables or disables the outlines of :ref:`layers<usinglayers>` in the :ref:`3D View<3dview>`. It can be useful to turn these off when taking screenshots to make a system design more aesthetically pleasing.

**SPL Peak Mode**
    By default, System Optimiser shows RMS sound pressure levels. If you need peak levels (i.e. the crest factor is added on top), you can turn on this option. CODA recommends to only use this option in rare exceptions.

**Annotate Copied Layer Names**
    Chooses whether duplicated, mirrored and imported :ref:`layers<usinglayers>` are renamed ("Copy of ...", "Mirror of ...", "... - Imported") or keep their original names.
