Example
Read Getting Started to learn about downloading a more advanced Visualize C# plug-in from the API Support Knowledge Base.
The example below demonstrates how to render a model using the API in a VBA macro.
'VBA
'=========================================================================
'Preconditions:
'1. Activate the SOLIDWORKS Visualize Add-in (SOLIDWORKS Tools menu > Add-ins... > SOLIDWORKS Visualize).
'2. Ensure that E:\SOLIDWORKS Visualize Content\Images exists.
'3. Open public_documents\SOLIDWORKS\SOLIDWORKS 2025\samples\tutorial\api\toaster.sldprt.
'
'Postconditions:
'1. Depending on the complexity, the render can take some time.
'2. After the macro is finished, inspect E:\SOLIDWORKS Visualize Content\Images\toaster\toaster.jpeg.
'
'NOTE: Because the model is used elsewhere, do not save changes to it.
'================================================================================
Dim swApp As SldWorks.SldWorks
Dim testViz As IVisualizeAddin
Dim visualizeAddinMgr As IVisualizeAddinManager
Sub main()
' Get the Visualize add-in object
Set swApp = Application.SldWorks
Set testViz = swApp.GetAddInObject("SolidWorks.Visualize.Implementation.VisualizeAddin")
Set visualizeAddinMgr = testViz.GetAddinManager
' Set render options as needed
Set vizRenderOptions = visualizeAddinMgr.RenderOptions
vizRenderOptions.ImageFormat = ImageFormat_e.JPEG
vizRenderOptions.FrameCount = 1000
vizRenderOptions.Width = 800
vizRenderOptions.Height = 800
vizRenderOptions.JobName = "Toaster"
vizRenderOptions.OutputFolder = "E:\SOLIDWORKS Visualize Content\Images"
vizRenderOptions.DenoiserEnabled = False
' Render the model
Call visualizeAddinMgr.Render
End Sub
