Rendering your lighting look

Rendering

At any time in CAD mode, you can generate a rendering of your set. Note that renderings in CAD mode are primarily intended for rendering your set with environmental lighting, but without theatrical lighting. However, if there are any fixtures selected on your plot, they are displayed in your rendering.

Note: To queue your render jobs and process them independently, you can use the Background Rendering Manager (all levels of WYSIWYG except Report and Perform - Console Edition). For details on this feature, see Background Rendering Manager.

To render a lighting look
  1. In the working area of the screen, display the lighting look that you want to render.
  2. From the Tools menu, choose Render.

Tip: You can also click the Render Wizard tool on the View toolbar.
