Rendering type: The graphics engine that will be used to create the render. The differences between the options relate to the different libraries used for object representation.
OpenGL: All contour lines are displayed.
LightWorks: All contour lines are displayed, but color is not displayed.
Native Wireframe: The standard wireframe mode. For fast drawing, only main contour lines are displayed for ACIS objects.

Rendering type: The graphics engine that will be used to create the render.
Hidden Line: The standard display mode - transparent rendering.
LightWorks: A for of Non-transparent rendering Hidden lines are completely hidden.
Redsdk: Uses the Redsdk engine for hidden line mode. See the Redsdk section for details on controlling display with Redsdk. This option is only available if Native Draw is set to Redsdk.

Hidden Line: Displays only the contour. Display of intersections and hidden lines depends on the options on the lower part of window. Colors are displayed.

penGL: Allows quick rendering in order to gauge the shape and placement of objects. Because of its speed, OpenGL is best suited for walk-throughs to quickly review the structure of the drawing, but not to show all details. For example, an object's pen color is used rather than its defined material.

diosity: Generates light distribution throughout the scene; the resolution is independent of any particular viewpoint. The radiosity algorithm is intended for solving the lighting problem, not the visibility problem. Once the light distribution has been generated, images can be rendered using standard visibility and shading algorithms. Radiosity is light-dependant and requires careful preparation to create the highest quality imaging.
Extended Parameters: Available if Radiosity is used.
Render Mode: Sets the render method Radiosity will use to draw the image after making calculations.

uality: The integrated parameter for improving the quality of an object's shadow displaying. Each quality value corresponds to the default set of radiosity parameters. Two of them, Max Area and Min Area can be adjusted manually to smooth the object shadow.
