Change part settings
You can change the default appearance, resolution, and other settings. With the exception of the Visual clipping section, these settings control the characteristics of new parts, but have no effect on existing parts. If you want to change an existing part's settings, see Set part properties.

If you change display settings for a part, you may need to enable Mixed mode in Show Settings to see your changes.
To change default part settings, see Change 3D object settings.
