and contours. Renders the image first, calculates
the additional contour lines next, then displays the rendered image and
the contour lines.
-
Render contours only.
Renders the image first, calculates the additional contour lines next,
then displays only the contour lines. The contours show distance by starting
with white lines at the observer and blending into the lines into the
background. Cameras
show field of view by starting with sharp lines at the plane of focus
and making the contour lines fuzzy as they become less focused.
When you select this option, you
can use Render to File to store
the resulting contour image in the PostScript format.
If contour rendering is active, you can modify
the following:
Line thickness
(pixel). Sets the thickness of the contour line.
Contour fades
with depth. Select to reduce the size of the contour lines as the
model depth changes away from the viewer. Move the slider to Minimum
to reduce the effect; Maximum
to increase the effect.

Background
color. Sets the color of the background if you selected Render
