In the View menu user can find the Render options. They are also accessible from the right mouse button and the status bar.

  • . Select View->Render->Normal
  • . Select View->Render->Flat
  • . Select View->Render->Smooth


In Normal render mode, user can see the entities drawn in different colors, depending on the kind of entity: volumes in light blue, surfaces in pink, lines in blue, and points in black.
Flat render mode draws each geometrical entity using the colour of the layer it belongs to, and Smooth mode uses also this criterion, but lines are not drawn to represent the geometry in a smoother way. The following figure shows the visualization of the model changing render modes:
