Training Course Contents
In the SOLIDWORKS Visualize training course you will learn how to work with 3D CAD models to create unique photorealistic renderings for electronic and paper output.
The course is designed around a process or task based approach to training rather than focusing on individual features and functions. Case studies are used to illustrate processes, allowing you to learn the necessary commands and work flows to setup, manage and complete any rendering task.
