Turntable Tools

You can use a turntable for a model to make a series of renderings that show the model rotating around its own center or around the world origin.

Turntable tools are available only in SOLIDWORKS Visualize Professional.

  1. On the main toolbar, click Turntable .
    This turns on the turntable. If a model is selected, a turntable is added for the model. If no model is selected, a turntable is selected for all models in all model sets.
