    Problem....SW2006 rendering not clear!!!

    Glass is invisible, it makes a big difference what background/environment it is put into. Reflections make glass more realistic. I use HDRI (HDR) backgrpound images for my glass renders.

    I use split surface quite often with no problems. I am running 2006SP2 with a Wildcat 990Pro. Solidworks RX (Start, All Programs, SW2006 , Soldworks Tools) will do screen capture as well. It also identifies system settings.
