About Render Mode for the Model View

Creating Views > Render Mode > About Render Mode for the Model View

Render mode determines the appearance of the structure:

Options	Function Key	Result
Shaded	F9	Displays the part as a shaded solid.
Shaded with Edges	F10	Displays the part as a shaded solid with the lines of forward surfaces emphasized. You can display the polygon as flat and shaded.
HLR (Hidden Line Removal)	F11	Displays only the frame lines of the forward surfaces. You can set the hidden lines to appear as dashed lines.
Wireframe	F12	Displays front and back frame lines equally.
Mesh		Displays a mesh frame.

If you select Hidden Line Removal, Wireframe, or Mesh, all parts of the viewed representation are affected. If you select Shaded or Shaded with Edges, you can choose to set different colors and degrees of transparency to different parts of the structure.

If you select Shaded or Shaded with Edges, you can select one of the following modes:

• Global Render Mode—Displays all parts of the viewed representation as shaded.

• Mixed Render Mode—Displays the parts of the viewed representation as classified by their appearance attributes. This is the default working mode.

Global Render Mode or Mixed Render Mode options do not modify the parts' attributes, only their display on the screen.
