The Render Settings command allows you to control several aspects of the rendering system and the Render Settings dialog box is divided into five different worksheets entitled: Rendering, Shadows, Floor, Site, and Render to File.
The first worksheet, entitled "Rendering" is used to control rendering quality, antialiasing, and surface smoothing. It also provides buttons that allow you to save your rendered image to a file or to redisplay the last rendered image.
The second worksheet, entitled "Shadows" is used to control some of the aspects of the shadow computations in the rendering module.
The third worksheet, entitled "Floor" is used to control the optional floor that can be placed beneath drawings when they are rendered.
The fourth worksheet, entitled "Site" is used to set the location of the drawing on earth and the orientation of the drawing axes to true North. This information is used in calculating sun angles for lighting purposes.
The fifth worksheet, entitled "Render to File" is used to rendering the drawing directly to a file on disk. This allows you to generate rendered images at any desired resolution independent of the screen resolution.
Each different worksheet can be accessed by clicking on the corresponding tab at the top of the dialog box.
Render settings are stored in the drawing.
