The following preferences can be changed on the Miscellaneous preference page:
- Exit CityEngine after [minutes]: CityEngine features an auto-exit functionality. CityEngine can automatically exit after a given number of minutes of inactivity. Before exiting, all open files will be saved. Enter '0' minutes in order to disable automatic exit. Automatic exit can be useful for installations where people usually do not close applications and thus do not return licenses held by these application to the license server. Closing the application returns the licenses held to the license server as a side-effect and allow in turn other users to start the application.
- Double click behaviour: Can be set to None, Inspect Model or Frame Model.
- Enable immediate mode: In immediate mode, procedural models are generated automatically if the underlying initial shape or its attributes change.
