Preparing to Render

Once the drawing is complete or near completion, any textures have been applied, and the desired lighting has been added, select one of the standard views (see Using Standard Views), and use the Flyover, Walkthrough, Translate View, or Rotate View tools to orient the drawing. For presentation purposes, it is often easier to create sheet layer viewports and render the sheet layers, or render a selected area (render bitmap, Renderworks required); both sheet layer viewports and render bitmaps can render in the background (Renderworks required) while drawing processes can continue.
