To start the Preferences editor select the Edit → Preferences... option from the menu. On the Mac OS the Preferences... option appears in the FreeCAD menu instead (this is the default place for preferences on the Mac).
FreeCAD uses a workbench concept, where each workbench is responsible for specific tasks and functions. A workbench can have its own preferences. These will only appear in the Preferences editor if the workbench has been loaded in the current FreeCAD session. See Workbenches below for more information.
If no workbench is loaded, five sections appear in the Preferences editor: General, Display, Workbenches, Addon Manager and Import-Export. Any workbenches that have been loaded, and have their own preferences, will appear below these.
Please note that pressing the Reset button in the lower left corner of the Preferences dialog will reset all FreeCAD preferences to their default values.
Some advanced preferences can only be changed in the Parameter editor. The Fine-tuning page lists some of them.
This preferences section has 9 standard tabs: General, Document, Selection, Cache, Editor, Python console, Output window, Macro and Units. A 10th tab, Help, is added if the Help Addon is available. This addon can be installed via the Addon Manager.

When switching to a tab this workbench will be restored automatically. | | Remember active workbench by tab | | | | | | (v0.19) | | +++ | | If checked, OpenGL will use the CPU instead of the GPU. This option is useful for troubleshooting graphics card and driver problems. Changing this option requires a restart of the application. | | Use software OpenGL | | | | | | (v0.19) | | +++ | | If checked, Vertex Buffer Objects (VBO) will be used. A VBO is an OpenGL feature that provides methods for uploading vertex data (position, normal vector, color, etc.) to the graphics card. VBOs offer substantial performance gains because the data resides in the graphics memory rather than the system memory and so it can be rendered directly by the GPU. For more background info see Understanding OpenGL Objects. | | Use OpenGL VBO (Vertex Buffer Object) | | | | | +++ | | "Render Cache" or "Render Acceleration" is explained in more detail in FreeCAD_assembly3 render-caching. The options are: | | Render Cache | | | | - Auto: Let Coin3D decide where to cache (default). | | (v0.19) | - Distributed: Manually turn on cache for all view provider root nodes. | | | - Centralized: Manually turn off cache in all nodes of all view providers, and only cache at the scene graph root node. This offers the fastest rendering speed, but slower response to any scene changes. | +++ | | Specifies if and what type of multisample anti-aliasing is used | | Anti-Aliasing | | | | | +++ | | Specifies the render type of transparent objects. The options are: | | Transparent objects | | | | - One pass: Rendering is done in one pass (default). This can lead to triangular artifacts. If these occur the type Backface pass can be used to avoid them. | | (v0.19) | - Backface pass: Rendering is done in two passes. Back-facing polygons are rendered in the first pass and front-facing polygons in the second pass. | +++ | | Specifies the size of vertices (points) in the Sketcher Workbench. The clickable area of points can be additionally enlarged by increasing the Pick radius. | | Marker size | | | | | +++ | | Sets the area for picking elements in the 3D view. Larger value makes it easier to pick things, but can make some small features impossible to select. | | Pick radius (px) | | | | | +++ | | Specifies the eye-to-eye distance used for stereo projections. The specified value is a factor that will be multiplied with the bounding box size of the 3D object that is currently displayed. | | Eye to eye distance for stereo modes | | | | | +++ | | If checked, backlight is enabled with the defined color. Backlight is used for rendering the back sides of faces. Usually, you don't see them in solids, unless you slice one with a clipping plane, or if the faces aren't oriented correctly. It is only active for objects whose Lighting property (on the View tab) is set to One side. If disabled, back sides of faces of objects in One side lighting mode will be black. The related Intensity setting specifies the intensity of the backlight. | | Backlight color | | | | | +++ | | Specifies the camera projection type. The options are: | | Camera type | | | | - Perspective rendering: Objects will appear in a perspective projection. | | | - Orthographic rendering: Objects will be appear in an orthographic projection. | +++
On the Navigation tab you can specify the following:
+++ | Name | Description | +==================================================+========================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================+ | | If checked, the Navigation cube will be shown in the 3D view. | | Navigation cube | | | | | | | Steps by turn | | | | | | defines the number of steps required for a full rotation when using the Navigation cube rotation arrows. | | | | | | | | | Corner | | | | | | defines where the Navigation cube is displayed in the 3D view. | | | | | | If Rotate to nearest is checked, the 3D view is rotated to the nearest most logical position, based on the current orientation of the cube, when a cube face is clicked. Else clicking a face will always result in the same rotation. (v0.20) | | | | | | | | | Cube size | | | | | | defines the size of the cube. (v0.20) | +++ | | Specifies a mouse navigation style. To see the details of each style, select it and then press the Mouse... button. | | 3D Navigation | | | | | +++ | | Specifies the rotation orbit style used when in rotation mode. The options are: | | Orbit style | | | | - Trackball: Moving the mouse horizontally will rotate the view around the Y-axis. | | | - Turntable: Moving the mouse horizontally will rotate the view around the Z-axis. | +++ | | Defines the rotation center. The options are: | | Rotation mode | | | | - Window center | | | - Drag at cursor | | | - Object center | +++ | | Specifies the camera orientation for new documents. This setting is also used by the Std ViewHome command. | | Default camera orientation | | | | | +++ | | Affects the initial camera zoom level for new documents. The value you set is the diameter of a sphere that fits in 3D view. The default is 100 mm. It also sets the initial size of origin features (base planes in new PartDesign Bodies and Std Parts). | | Camera zoom | | | | | +++ | | If checked, and 3D Navigation is set to CAD, rotations can be animated. If the mouse is moved while the scroll wheel and the right mouse button are pressed, the view is rotated. If one keeps the mouse moving while releasing the right mouse button, the rotation will continue. To end this animation left-click with the mouse. | | Enable animation | | | | | +++ | | If checked, zoom operations will be performed at the position of the mouse pointer. Otherwise zoom operations will be performed at the center of the current view. The Zoom step defines how much will be zoomed. A zoom step of 1 means a factor of 7.5 for every zoom step. | | Zoom at cursor | | | | | +++ | | If checked, the direction of zoom operations will be inverted. | | Invert zoom | | | | | +++ | | If checked, and 3D Navigation is set to Gesture, the tilting gesture will be disabled for pinch-zooming (two-finger zooming). | | Disable touchscreen tilt gesture | | | | | +++
On the Colors tab you can specify the following:
+++ | Name | Description | +==================================================+=====================================================================================================================================================================================================================================+ | | If checked, preselection is turned on and the specified color will be used for it. Preselection means that for example edges in parts will be highlighted while hovering over them with the mouse to indicate they can be selected. | | Enable preselection highlighting | | | | | +++ | | If checked, selection highlighting is turned on and the specified color will be used for it. | | Enable selection highlighting | | | | | +++ | | If selected, the background of the 3D view will have the selected color. | | Simple color | | | | | +++ | | If selected, the background of the 3D view will have a vertical color gradient. The first color is the color at the top of the 3D view, the second the color at the bottom. | | Color gradient | | | | | +++ | | Press this button to switch the top and bottom colors of the gradient. (v1.0) | | Switch | | | | | +++ | | This option is only enabled if Color gradient is selected. If checked, the color gradient will get the selected color as the middle color. | | Middle color | | | | | +++ | | Specifies the background color for objects in the tree view that are currently edited. | | Object being edited | | | | | +++ | | Specifies the background color for active containers in the tree view. For example an active PartDesign Body will get this color. | | Active container | | | | | +++
This tab is only available if the Mesh Workbench has been loaded.
On the Mesh view tab you can specify the following:
+++ | Name | Description | +======================================================================+======================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================+ | | Specifies the default face color. | | Default mesh color | | | | | +++ | | Specifies the default line color. | | Default line color | | | | | +++ | | Specifies the default mesh transparency. | | Mesh transparency | | | | | +++ | | Specifies the default line transparency. | | Line transparency | | | | | +++ | | If checked, the default value for the Lighting property is {{value|Two side}} instead of {{value|One side}}. {{value|Two side}} means the color of the interior side of faces is the same as the color of the exterior side. {{value|One side}} means their color is either the backlight color, if enabled, or black. | | Two-side rendering | | | | | +++ | | If checked, the default value for the Selection Style property is {{value|BoundBox}} instead of {{value|Shape}}. {{value|BoundBox}} means a highlighted bounding box is displayed if meshes are highlighted or selected. {{value|Shape}} means the shape itself is then highlighted. | | Show bounding-box for highlighted or selected meshes | | | | | +++ | | If checked, Phong shading is used, otherwise flat shading. Shading defines the appearance of surfaces. With flat shading the surface normals are not defined per vertex. This leads to an unrealistic appearance for curved surfaces. While Phong shading leads to a more realistic, smoother appearance. | | Define normal per vertex | | | | | +++ | | The crease angle is a threshold angle between two faces. It can only be set if the option Define normal per vertex is used. | | Crease angle | | | | : If face angle ≥ crease angle, facet shading is used. | | | : If face angle < crease angle, smooth shading is used. | +++
This preferences section has a single tab: Available Workbenches.
To preserve resources, FreeCAD does not automatically load all available workbenches. And only if a workbench has been loaded will its preferences, if any, appear in the Preferences editor.
In FreeCAD version 0.19 the tab has a different label: Unloaded Workbenches, and the tab displays a list of installed workbenches that have not yet been loaded. To load one or more workbenches select them in the list and then press the Load Selected button.
In FreeCAD version 0.20 the Available Workbenches tab displays a list of all installed workbenches. To load a workbench press its Load now button. If you check a workbench's Autoload checkbox it will autoload when FreeCAD starts up. Loading more workbenches will make the startup slower, but switching between workbenches that have already been loaded is faster.
If a newly loaded workbench has dedicated preference they will appear in a new section in the Preferences editor. Some workbenches add support for additional import and export formats. If there are any related preferences they will appear on one or more new tabs in the Import-Export section of the Preferences editor.
For a list of workbench related preferences see Workbench related preferences
This preferences section has a single tab: Addon manager options.
These preferences control the behavior of the Addon manager.
