Defect Visualization dialog

Digital prototypes of your model can be exported to Autodesk Showcase for photo-realistic rendering.

Caution: To export the model geometry successfully, surfaces and CAD faces must be displayed as Solid or Transparent. Display as Net is not allowed. Verify the model display options. Click Entities (View tab > Appearance panel > Entities), and in the Default Display tab of the Options dialog, ensure that the Surface/CAD Face option is set to Solid or Transparent.

Select the entities you would like to export. You can select part surface only, or you can include sink marks and/or warpage. Assign a scale factor and units, then browse to the location in which you would like to save the file and assign a unique name.
