Render and Appearance Panels

Render panel

On the Render panel, click Render Properties to open the following dialog:

Set the Shader value to either Blinn Phong, Gouraud, or Flat, then adjust other features such as lighting, opacity, and the presence of element edges.

Simulation results with element edges on (left) and off (right)

Experiment with effects by using the slider for each feature. Numeric values are shown if you need to replicate the effect at another time. You can always reset the rendering by clicking the small render reset button in the Render panel.

Appearance panel

Select the units for the view (Metric, SI, or US-English) and if you want a more realistic view of a project, select Perspective.
