Render tab > Visual Styles panel > Visual Styles

Edit an existing style or create new styles to fit the design needs

1. 2D Wireframe: Displays 3D models as wireframe with no shading
2. 3D Hidden: Displays 3D models as wireframe with hidden lines removed
3. 3D Wireframe: Displays objects as wireframe
4. Conceptual: Displays 3D Models in a shaded format with transitioning colors
5. Realistic: Displays 3D models as shaded with the edges between polygon faces smoothed. Display Materials

Visual Styles

Create, apply, and manage visual styles and edge effects to control the appearance of the 3D model

A visual style controls the model's edges, shading, background, shadows, faces, and more

Visual styles enable the designer to quickly change the appearance of a model

Views with Hidden Lines Removed

There are 3 options that do not display lines that would be considered hidden

3D Hidden

Appears as a wireframe silhouette 轮廓 of a 3D model

Conceptual

Apply color to faces of models and hide hidden lines

Uses a transition between colors

Realistic

Displays 3D models in the colors assigned

Displays materials if they are attached

Wireframe View

2D Wireframe 3D Wireframe

3D Wireframe visual style offers properties and settings that are not available in the 2D Wireframe visual style

Type of Views

Produce different types of views depending on the intended audience

Top-left: Conceptual Top-right: Realistic

Lower-left: Wireframe Lower-right: 3D Hidden

Using visual styles to generate views based on geometry view types: Wireframe, Hidden, or Shaded

Creating Drawings from 3D Models

Visualization, interference checking, and mass property information are a few of the benefits of creating designs with 3D models

As design in 3D, still need to create 2D documents of models

Using layouts can create all the views necessary to document the models

Generating 2D/3D Sections

Home tab > Section panel > Create Block

Generate 2D or 3D sections and elevations of model

2D section has been updated to reflect the new section plane shape and settings
