      <p class="para_division">You can create a showroom environment in any rendering style. For example, you can create a showroom environment in wireframe mode. You will see only a wireframe cube but, for faster performance, you may want to manipulate the cube in this mode when reorienting, resizing, and relocating. You can switch to Shaded rendering style when you are ready to view the cube.</p>
