When a 3D model is imported into SOLIDWORKS Visualize, the resolution that we see in a preview within the viewport is the resolution of the image that is rendered as an output.

This resolution can be changed as required, following the steps below:

  1. Import the 3D model into SOLIDWORKS Visualize
Resolution: 480X270
