Model > Adjust Resolution
Use this menu option to adjust the resolution of a model. This
means you can disassociate the bitmap resolution from the model resolution.The Adjust Model Resolution
button on the Model toolbar is a shortcut for this menu option. The
accessibility of this button is layout dependent.
In pictures, the size of the pixels determines the resolution of the picture. Resolution is the number of pixels per inch (ppi) or centimetre. A picture is created at a specific resolution. You select the resolution based on how you will use the picture in your model. Too low a resolution will cause pixelation, or large pixels that cause a coarse relief, while too high a resolution add to picture's memory requirements without producing a significant increase in its overall finish.
To adjust the resolution of the model:
- Select Model > Adjust
Resolution or click
. The Adjust Model Resolution dialog is displayed. The resolution of the model is displayed in the Current Resolution area.
- Drag the slider to set the resolution of the model according to the requirements of your job. Drag the slider to the right to increase the resolution of the model; drag the slider to the left to decrease the resolution. In the New Resolution area, the new resolution of the model is displayed.
- Click OK to set the
resolution of the model. A message dialog is displayed warning that you cannot
undo any adjustment to the model resolution: click Yes to adjust the model resolution; click No to keep the current model resolution
