Using the XGen Preview, you can display the output of a Description in the scene view. Previews lets you see the details of your Description, such as primitive shape, size, and density before rendering. In typical a XGen workflow, you may need to preview a Description numerous times before being satisfied with the results.
To preview and clear your Description
- By default, your current XGen Description previews automatically. If no preview displays, click the Preview
icon in the XGen window toolbar. You can change settings so that a preview displays automatically (see To change the preview settings below).
- To clear the surface of the previewed primitives, click the
icon. Clearing the previewed primitives does not remove them from the Description.
To change the preview settings
- In the XGen Editor toolbar, click
beside the Preview icon and select an option from the list that appears. - To change the Clear Preview options, click beside the Clear Preview icon and select an option from the list that appears.
- To change other preview settings, such as the color and density that primitives display in the preview, click the Preview/Output tab and set an applicable option.
- In the Preview Settings, configure the desired preview options.
