Render Window
The Render window is divided into the following two panes:
- Image pane. Displays the progress of the current rendering and the final rendered image once
the current rendering operation has been completed. - History and Statistics pane. At the bottom, collapsed by default; provides access to recently rendered images
of the current model and statistics about the objects used to create a rendered image.
Rendering from any drawing always appears in its corresponding Render window.
From here, you can
- Save the image to a file.
- Save a copy of the image to a file.
- Monitor the progress of the current rendering.
- Track the rendering history of the model.
- Delete an image from the rendering history.
- Zoom into a section of the rendered image, pan around the image, and then zoom back
out.
