How to Enable View Type in View Properties in Tekla

In the previous versions of Tekla program, there were two options for the background colour of the screen, one was the rendering option and the other was the wireframe option, but in the new Tekla version, the selection of the wireframe option has been disabled and this possibility has been removed in View properties dialogue.

But many users still prefer the wireframe background for their model, especially this option is useful for users when the model becomes very heavy because it prevents crashing system and to some extent help the system to work easier and with higher efficiency.

For those who like to activate this option in their Tekla 2020. I suggest this method.
