Render Styles & Settings
Render Styles
Different render modes are used to display the model.
The Wireframe mode is generally used when constructing and assembling the model and the Draft and Quality Render modes are used to view the finished rendered model.
When Material properties are applied to the model, realistic results are displayed when viewed in Draft or Quality Render mode using the Visualize or TurboLux rendering engines.
OpenGL rendering, a feature of Draft Rendering produces speedy rendering results for examination purposes. This technique utilizes minimal color representation, texture and shading.
Sketch objects and other non-renderable 2D objects such as dimensions and construction objects can be viewed in conjunction with render modes.
Settings
Settings of features can be adjusted to produce different results. For example, the construction and rendered view of a 3D object can be adjusted for speed of design and the complexity of the rendered result. A example would be to reduce the surface lines on complex objects such that only their edges and minimal surface lines and curves are displayed. An example of this is below.
