Used to render the model using true lighting,
reflection and shading in a separate window. It enables walk-through, dynamic
zoom and panning capabilities in the 3D rendered view.
Once the 3D Rendering option is chosen, a separate
window opens displaying the rendered view. The structure can be dynamically
rotated about all three axes by simply holding the left mouse button down and
dragging the structure in the intended direction. Right-clicking the mouse
button will display a myriad of viewing options.
Depending on the material used (steel, concrete,
etc.), an appropriate texture will be applied to the structure. A property or
material must be assigned to the entities of the model before this feature can
be used. This is for visual and presentation purposes only.
