Registry Setting for TIFF Files

There is a Registry setting that may require a manual change if you wish to work with large TIFF files. By default, SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Viewer switches to software rendering for large TIFF files, which means that they are not available for collaboration. This setting renders all TIFF files with hardware acceleration, no matter the file size.

Setting for Hardware Acceleration

Software rending is enabled by default in the registry for large TIFF files. To use hardware acceleration instead, change the attributes to match the following values:
  • [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SAP\SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Viewer]
  • "USE_2D_TIFF_VIEWER_ALWAYS"=dword:00000001
If this flag is not set, SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Viewer works in default mode. If set, SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Viewer works with hardware acceleration for all files.
