FAQ: What Happens When a Render Preset is Assigned to a Viewport that is Assigned a Rendering Duration of Until Satisfactory or Render by Time?

Render presets support three different rendering durations: Until Satisfactory, Render by Level, and Render by Time. While the rendering engine supports all three durations, Render by Level is only supported when plotting a viewport on a named layout. If a render preset is assigned to a viewport that uses a rendering duration other than Render by Level, the viewport is plotted using Render by Level. The number of levels that are used to calculate the rendered image of the 3D objects in the viewport is determined by the value of the Render Accuracy setting of the render preset assigned to the viewport.

The following lists the number of levels used to render the 3D objects in the viewport by Render Accuracy value:

• Low. - 5 levels
• Draft. - 10 levels
• High. - 15 levels

Note: The number of levels used cannot be customized. If you want to render a viewport when plotting with a specific number of levels, create and assign a render preset to the viewport that has a rendering duration of Render by Level with the desired number of levels.
