Control Model Appearance
and Render Quality
You can control both the appearance of the model in the Scene View and the
quality of rendering in real time.
Control Model Appearance
You can use the tools on the Render Style panel on the Viewpoint
tab to control how your model is displayed in the Scene View.
You have a choice of one of four interactive lighting modes (Full
Lights, Scene Lights, Head Light, or No Lights), four rendering modes
(Full Render, Shaded, Wireframe, or Hidden Line) and you can
individually turn each of the five primitive types (Surfaces, Lines,
Points, Snap Points, and Text) on and off.
Select Render Mode
Rendering shades the scene’s geometry using the lighting you’ve
set up, and the materials and environmental settings (such as
background) you’ve applied.
In Autodesk Navisworks, you can use four render modes to control
how the items are rendered in the Scene View. The spheres below
demonstrate the effect that the render modes have on model
appearance. In order from the left, these are Full Render, Shaded,
Wireframe, and Hidden Line.
Full Render
In Full Render mode, the model is rendered with smooth shading
including any materials that have been applied using the Presenter
tool, or have been brought through from the native CAD file.
