About Ray Trace Visual Style

Render a model in a photorealistic mode that allows panning and zooming.

The Ray Trace visual style is a photorealistic rendering mode that allows panning and zooming around your model. While using this visual style, the rendering of the model starts at a low resolution, but quickly increases fidelity to appear more photorealistic. You have the option to set lighting, photographic exposure, and background, from the Graphic Display Options dialog during or before entering Ray Trace mode. You can use the View Cube, Navigation Wheel, and other camera operations, to conduct an interactive walk through of your model.

Access Ray Trace from the Visual Style icon on the View Control Bar.

Note: Ray Trace is not supported on 32-bit systems.
