AutoVue


Display Attributes

AutoVue provides several different render methods to display a 3D CAD model. You can also adjust the degree of transparency, change color or visibility, to suit your preferences.

Render Modes

The choice of render mode varies between the level of detail and the render speed of the model. For example, a shaded model is three-dimensional and highly detailed but requires more time to render. The different render modes are:

Method
Description
Wireframe
A skeletal model constructed using lines and curves that represent the model's "true" edges. All internal lines are visible.
Shaded
A solid model constructed of planes and surfaces. These surfaces are shaded to increase the illusion of three dimensions.
Hidden Line
A wireframe constructed with all internal lines hidden.
Silhouette
A wireframe constructed with all internal lines visible but including additional silhouette edges. These are not "true" edges but help to visualize the model.
Wire Polygons
A skeletal model constructed of unfilled polygons.
Shaded Wire
An outlined solid model constructed of planes and surfaces. The outline is a solid line and the model's surfaces are shaded to increase the illusion of three dimensions.

Changing the Render Mode

Note A checkmark beside the attribute indicates the current render mode.

  1. From the AutoVue main menu, select View > Display Attributes and the render mode that you want to render the model in.
  2. Note You can also change the render mode for selected model parts.

    Note You can also click the Render Mode icon on the AutoVue toolbar or right-click in the workspace and select Display Attributes.

    The model or selected model parts change to the selected render mode.
