Managing Picture Sequences

This task explains how to manage pictures when rendering a product.

Open the Shooting.CATProduct document then click Shading with Material in the View toolbar.

  1. Click Render Shooting to open the Render dialog box.

  2. Click the Render Single Frame button. The Rendering Output window opens and the processing starts:

    You can also click Quick Render to render your image without defining specific shooting parameters.
  3. Click the Fit All In button in the View toolbar to zoom the current view out so that the whole document fits into the available space in the viewer area as shown below:

    You can also zoom in or out the current view with your mouse.
  4. Click the Zoom button to display the image with a zoom equal to 1.

    If the rendering computation takes too much time, you can interrupt it by clicking the Stop button.
    The background color of the Rendering Output window depends on the background color set in Tools > Options > General > Display > Visualization, whether graduated or customized.

By default, the image is saved as CatiaRender.tif in a temporary. If you want to modify the name and the default location, refer to the next task to learn how to save pictures.
