The 3D Snapshot Master Tool Settings are used by the 3D Snapshot tool and the 3D Snapshot Toolbox.
Provide a unique Name and an optional Description for the setting.
Output Settings
Output Filename
File Path
Either enter a path description or use the edit button 
to select a path.
File Name
Enter the required output filename. This can include the normal substitution codes, such as %<ProjectName>, %<LayerName> etc.
File Type
Choose from the pulldown list of available file types.
Add Suffix
If this option is switched on and your chosen output filename already exists, then a unique filename will be created by appending a numeric value to it. Otherwise the existing file will be overwritten.
Image Properties
Colour Depth
From the pulldown list choose the required colour depth. This list will vary depending on the selected file type.
Compression
Compression is only available for certain combinations of file types and colour depths. You can either enter a value into the numeric field or use the slider control.
Resolution
The available resolution settings depend on the selected file type.
Image Size
You can specify an Image Size (in pixels), by entering the required Width and Height.
Physical Size
Alternatively, depending on the file type, you may be able to enter a Physical Size (in Millimetres, Centimetres or Inches) and the required Resolution (in Pixels/Millimetre, Pixels/Centimetre or Pixels/Inch).
Changing either of the Image Size values causes the corresponding Physical Size value to be automatically updated, as defined by the Resolution. A similar thing happens if you change either of the Physical Size values.
Lock Aspect Ratio
If you select this option, then changing either of the width/height values causes the corresponding value to be automatically updated.
Rendering Quality
Super Sampling
This option performs extra anti-aliasing passes in order to generate a higher-quality 3D snapshot. The scene is rendered at a higher resolution than the actual required resolution, and then down-sampled - theoretically providing a smoother transition between pixels and hence reducing the presence of jagged & pixelated edges. Super-sampling is primarily noticeable when rendering scenes containing reflective materials such as metallic foils & varnishes. Enabling Super Sampling (and increasing the level of Super-Sampling) will increase the rendering time and may also increase the finished file size.
- Low - renders the scene at twice the required resolution before down-sampling.
- Medium - renders the scene at four times the required resolution before down-sampling.
- High - renders the scene at eight times the required resolution before down-sampling.
Transparent Background
This option is only available for *.PNG and *.BMP formats with 32-bit colour depth. If checked, it will replace the 3D scene background (single colour, colour gradient, graphic image or TruView environment) with transparency.
