To display lighting from point lights, distant lights, spotlights, or the sun, set
the visual style to Realistic, Conceptual, or a custom visual style with shaded
objects.
2D Wireframe
Wireframe Displays the objects using lines and curves to represent the
boundaries. Displays a shaded 3D UCS icon. You can set the COMPASS system
variable to 1 to view the compass.
Hidden Displays the objects using 3D wireframe representation and hides
lines representing back faces.
Realistic Shades the objects and smooths the edges between polygon faces.
Materials that you have attached to the objects are displayed.
Conceptual Shades the objects and smooths the edges between polygon faces.
Shading uses a transition between cool and warm colors. The effect is less
realistic, but it can make the details of the model easier to see.
Shaded Produces a smooth shaded model.
Shaded with Edges Produces a smooth shaded model with visible edges.
Shades of Gray Produces a gray color effect by using the monocolor face color
mode.
Sketchy Produces a hand-sketched effect by using the overhang and jitter.
X-ray Changes the opacity of faces to make the whole scene partially
transparent.
