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. |
 |
PowerBoost |
Available only in SOLIDWORKS Visualize Professional. Enables PowerBoost render mode, which uses hardware from any connected Visualize Boost computers to stream ray tracing directly to your Viewport for a faster experience. |
|
Interactivity Acceleration Mode |
When in Fast or Accurate mode, the following options are available:- Downscaled
Reduces the viewport size during interaction.
This option 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 or 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).
