You can choose between options that offer faster performance and options that offer more accurate previews.
Default - Assemblies render in the preview window with a single material. When cleared, assemblies render with the material assigned to each component.
Immediate
or Deferred - If you choose Immediate, the preview updates immediately
at every change of a material, scene, decal, or light source property.
If you choose Deferred, the preview
updates only if you click Render on the Preview toolbar.
OpenGL or Ray Trace - The preview renders in the selected mode. OpenGL renders faster than Ray Trace, but Ray Trace provides a more accurate preview than OpenGL.
