How to Export a Rendered Image with a Transparent Background in SOLIDWORKS Visualize

Problem

SOLIDWORKS Visualize offers users render outputs that include background options to enhance the photorealism of the model and environment render. However, users sometimes desire realistic model renders with a transparent background. While you can use image editing programs to create such a background, the process itself can be very time-consuming with more complex shapes of the model. This article discusses how you can output a rendered image with a transparent background during export.

Solution

To allow a transparent background in a rendered image, follow the steps below:

  1. Click the Render Wizard

    Click Render Wizard
  2. Set the type of image and click "Next". Be sure to export the files as .PNG or .TIFF, as they support transparency in images
  3. In the "Media" settings, check the box for "Include Alpha" and continue through the Render Wizard to render the image.

    Check Include Alpha

The transparent background can now be noticed in Windows Paint or image editing programs.
