[Command Professional Edition 64: Tacview](https://youtu.be/p86XAYUCZz8)

### 3D Objects

To ensure that the best possible 3D representation is used for each object, run Tacview with the following command-line option (but change the path to the corresponding one on your computer):

`/ResourceFolder:"C:\Program Files (x86)\Command Professional Edition 2\Resources\Tacview\"`

or in some cases:

`/ResourceFolder:"C:\ProgramData\Command Professional Edition 2\Resources\Tacview\"`

Check the Tacview log generated when Tacview is used within Command Professional Edition to find the correct path (the log is located in `%TEMP%/Tacview/`):

### Terrain Elevation and Textures

To display the same terrain elevation and textures in Tacview as in `C:PE`,

* Download the [elevation files](http://topex.ucsd.edu/pub/srtm30_plus/srtm30/data/) and place them in the folder `%ProgramData%\Tacview\Data\Terrain\SRTM30\`.
* Download the [texture files](http://warfaresims.slitherine.com/Tacview_Textures/) and place them in:`%ProgramData%\Tacview\Data\Terrain\Textures\`

To keep your system operating at peak performance, it is recommended to take only the tiles that you need in order to run your favourite campaigns and battles.

Close and re-launch Tacview in order to view the textures.
