Guest Cyclopean Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 As I said earlier, I'm new to the 3d/rendering side of CAD. I've completed my drawing, and I've applied materials from the materials library, now I've rendered it. How do I print this finished product? When I print, I see only the wireframe of the dwg. Thanks for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CADTutor Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 Also, see here http://www.cadtutor.net/acad/acad2ki/atop/atop.html#Render for a full description of this process. Obviously, once you've rendered your file, you'll need to print it using some bitmap editor like Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
