Description:

Calculate and display the rendering of a view or an area by taking in account the texture parameters and the light set in the document.

This rendering needs a calculation delay, but the result is more exact than the quick realistic rendering (icon ). It take in consideration supplementary parameter as the reflectivity and the relief.

General philosophy :

Select the view you want to calculate and display the rendering.

Available option(s):

Two selection modes are available:

•   Mode= GLOBAL  : The whole selected view is calculated.

•   Mode= PARTIAL  : You can select an area to calculate by clicking two points which define an enclosing rectangle.

The drop down list allows you to define the accuracy of the calculation of the rendering. The more precise mode (and the longer) is the FULL RAYTRACING.

Specific point(s):

You can stop the calculation by using the Esc key.

Take care not to do dynamic rotation, zoom or translation while TopSolid is calculating the rendering. If you do, the dynamic move will be done once the calculating ends and will cancel the rendering.
