NOTE A complete reference manual for all types of rendering styles is included with the Autodesk Navisworks API,
(see \API\COM\documentation\shaders.chm). The Autodesk Navisworks API is included with Autodesk Navisworks
Simulate 2010; it’s an optional feature in the installer, and is installed by default into the API subfolder in the Autodesk
Navisworks installation folder.
Rendering Styles
Rendering styles affect the way that the scene is rendered when a full photorealistic render is done (by clicking
on the Render button). None of these effects are available as an interactive preview.
To set up a rendering style, simply drag your chosen style onto the palette on the right-hand side of the tab.
To edit your chosen rendering style, simply double-click the style in the palette. The Render Editor dialog box
will appear. Each editor will be different for each type of rendering style. The High Quality editor is shown here:
NOTE If the Presenter profile in the Options Editor (see “Presenter Page” on page 405 for more information) is set to
Advanced, the dialog box will include the full list of parameters and allow you to change the type of foreground.
At any time, click the Apply button to apply the parameter edits to the scene.
