SOLIDWORKS 2026 supports DSPBR appearances, creating a seamless
transition when you open designs in SOLIDWORKS Visualize to produce high-quality,
photo-realistic images.
In the Appearances PropertyManager, a DSPBR
tab ensures direct
material-to-material
translation. All parameters from SOLIDWORKS map directly to
Visualize. To
use the tab, select DSPBR (Dassault Systèmes Physically Based
Rendering) under Appearance Visual
Style in .
Previously, Visualize approximated DSPBR
materials when you opened a SOLIDWORKS file in Visualize. Visualize uses the same
approximation when you open
files
created in SOLIDWORKS 2025 or earlier. For SOLIDWORKS 2026 files, the mapping of
SOLIDWORKS DSPBR appearances to Visualize uses a 1:1 correlation, eliminating the
potential of error-prone approximations and providing a unified experience.
You can still use these approximations if you:
- In SOLIDWORKS Visualize, open a
file
created in SOLIDWORKS 2025 or earlier.
- In SOLIDWORKS, click . Under Appearance Visual
Style, select Legacy
Appearances.
