Raster Mode Options

The Raster Mode Options dialog box allows you to customize controls for raster mode options. To access the dialog box, click Raster view generation mode and then click Configure on the View tab.

Raster Mode Options

The Raster Mode Options contains the following options:

Mode
Select the mode that you want to use:
  • Dynamic hidden line removal
  • Shading
  • Shading with edges
  • Shading, no light source
  • Shading with edges, no light source

These modes are equivalent to the 3D rendering styles. For more information, see 3DEXPERIENCE Native Apps: Viewing: Using Rendering Styles .

Tip: If you want the colors of a 3D shape to be used when generating Raster views using the Shading or Shading with edges mode, remember to select the Inherit 3D Colors option on the View tab. Otherwise, the view is generated using shades of gray.

By default, the Dynamic hidden line removal mode is selected.

With texture
This check box is available only with the shading modes (not with the Dynamic hidden line removal mode) and applicable only for shaded views.

Select this check box to visualize the realistic rendering of the threads, similar to what is seen in the 3D viewer if the Shading with Material is selected. This mode uses textures mapped on the threaded surface to simulate the aspect of the thread.



Important: To visualize the realistic visualization of the threads, you need to select the With texture check box and also the Display check box in Part Design app available through Me > Preferences > App Preferences > 3D Modeling > 3D Modeling Core > Part Design > Part Design section, under Thread / Tap.

You can also view the symbolic representation of threads in Part Design app using the Tap - Thread Analysis command. For more information about this, see Part Design User's Guide: Using Analysis Tools: Analyzing Taps and Threads.

Level of detail: For visu
Set the level of detail (that is, the definition, in dpi) that is used to visualize the drawing. You can choose between three predefined modes and a custom mode. If you choose to customize the definition yourself, specified the dpi for visualization in the appropriate fields.
  • Low quality
  • Normal quality
  • High quality
  • Customize

By default, the Normal quality is selected.

Important: The level of detail applies to the scale of the view. In some cases (when the view would print with a considerable height or width), there may be too many pixels to generate the view. In this case, the view is displayed as a red cross-mark. If this happens, try to reduce the scale of the view or the level of detail.
Level of detail: For print
Set the level of detail (that is, the definition, in dpi) that is used to print the drawing. You can choose between three predefined modes and a custom mode. If you choose to customize the definition yourself, specified the dpi for print in the appropriate fields.
  • Low quality
  • Normal quality
  • High quality
  • Customize

By default, the Normal quality is selected.
