Default is 4352</td></tr><tr><td>defaultButtons</td><td>the 4 default buttons for turning ON/OFF the system and projectors.</td></tr><tr><td>customButtons</td><td>add up to 6 extra buttons with custom commands.</td></tr></tbody></table>

<table><thead><tr><th width="186">Button Parameter</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>label</td><td>Custom name for the button that will be visible on the interface.</td></tr><tr><td>color</td><td>Color of the button. Options are: <em>red, blue, green, yellow, magenta, white.</em></td></tr><tr><td>type</td><td><ul><li><code>"system"</code>: command line instruction in batch language.</li><li><code>"pjlink"</code>: protocol for projection control over TCP/IP.</li><li><p><code>"exaplay"</code>: tcp command to Exaplay.

#### Layers

<table><thead><tr><th width="272">Setting</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Import layer setting (Performance ↔ Quality)</strong></td><td>Moving toward <strong>Performance</strong> reduces import time and increases responsiveness. Moving toward <strong>Quality</strong> increases visual quality and precision.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Enable PDF/DXF background transparency</strong></td><td>Plans are imported without a background. <strong>Note</strong>: vector drawings with black lines, will show black on black background, so make sure you use color effects or a different interface background (white, grid)</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Enable file Watcher (Layer 0)</strong></td><td>Startup behavior for the <a href="/pages/zD8WSrTcVRwMM0L3711A">file watcher system</a>. </td></tr></tbody></table>

#### Interface Camera

<table><thead><tr><th width="270">Setting</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Interface zoom range (min – max)</strong></td><td>Controls how far users can zoom in or out when navigating the plan in the interface.
