Render Selection Tools

The Render Selection tools in the main toolbar let you select the realtime rendering mode.

Hover over Render Selection to display the following tools.

SOLIDWORKS Visualize is hardware agnostic, which means you have the fastest time-to-quality rendering using CPU, GPU, or Hybrid (both CPU and GPU) settings.

Preview Enables high performance, interactive, noise-free rendering.
Fast Enables visually accurate raytracing for the fastest time-to-quality rendering.
Accurate Enables scientifically accurate path tracing for the most precise rendering.
  Interactivity Acceleration Mode When in Fast or Accurate mode, the following are available:
  • Downscaled

    Reduces the viewport size during interaction. This improves interactivity but with lower interactive image quality.

  • Steady

    No accelerating technique is used.

  • Blended

    Blended causes the scene to automatically switch to Preview mode whenever you do anything – such as moving the camera, moving the model, playing an animation, dragging a material, or clicking the mouse in the Viewport.

    When you stop clicking or moving the mouse, the scene blends into the raytrace mode you have selected (Fast or Accurate).
