Open the SIDEBAR menu and open the SCENE tab. Click on a listed SCENE. The display and rendering settings for this will be visible. Make changes to visualize. You cannot save these settings from the 3D Viewer but some of the settings can be published as part of the 3D Document. Document settings are available in 3D Publisher tool under the Document Tab.
