The 3D Interface Settings control area can be found on the General tab of the 3D View Properties property sheet available under the View menu on the main Menu Bar. This area of the interface will appear similar to the example shown on the right. There is one configurable parameter in this region as described below.
Display 3D widgets automatically: This option is checked by default indicating that 3D interaction widgets will be automatically displayed when creating a filter that utilizes such as widget for parameter specification. This option can be unchecked if you are working with very large data and plan to specify all parameters manually. This way you can avoid the extra render that occurs to turn on the 3D widget.
