Since the ‘Easy Mode’ interface has only five buttons, the marketing team will have no excuse for not picking it up quickly. This allows those high-quality visuals to be created by the marketing team, rather than being shouldered by the engineers. As a standalone product, Visualize can be installed on any PC and the license isn’t directly tied to your SolidWorks installation.
However, the Visualize tool also allows you to select colours from sources outside the application, such as online Pantone charts or company style guides.įinally, one of the greatest advantages of SolidWorks Visualize is the fact that you don’t have to use it yourself. Like other eyedroppers you’re familiar with, it allows you to pick and replicate existing appearances. The library is continuously updated with appearances created by Visualize users, so you’ll always be able to find what you’re looking for.Īnother one of my favorite features is the eyedropper. In addition to these installed appearances, Visualize is also directly connected to an online library of hundreds of additional ones, all downloadable at no extra cost. Visualize comes pre-loaded with dozens of good-looking appearances and textures - including dozens of metallic paints, several species of wood and even the transparent film of a soap bubble. The most immediate benefit of SolidWorks Visualize is the enormous library of high-quality appearances, environments and cameras to choose from. It imports many different file types from almost every CAD programme out there, so even if you’re not using SolidWorks for CAD, you can still use Visualize. Visualize is the first step in this ‘SolidWorks is Everywhere’ campaign, hence one of its most interesting traits - it’s a standalone product. Part of the strategy they came up with is to expose non-SolidWorks users to SolidWorks products and hopefully generate interest in the rest of the portfolio. Once Visualize became a SolidWorks product, Hillner said, the entire business strategy was hammered out in two straight days of gruelling talks with SolidWorks execs. The team behind the new product is helmed by Brian Hillner, who met with me at SolidWorks World 2016, on the very same day that SolidWorks Visualize went live to the public, to answer the questions about the product that users seem most likely to ask. Easy Mode strips back the UI to give you a clear, five-button workflow to set up your renders
