Problem
This article goes over how to create Part & Assembly templates without floor reflections or floor shadows. This is often useful for users working with extremely large assemblies or parts as a method of optimizing SOLIDWORKS graphical performance.
Solution
- Start a new Part or Assembly file
-
Navigate to the "DisplayManager" tab
-
Switch to "Scene, Lights, and Cameras"
-
Right-click on the Scene and deselect "Floor Reflections" and "Floor Shadows"
- Right-click Scene once more and select “Edit Scene…”
-
Change to the "Advanced" tab and select "Save Scene.."
- In the Save As window, save the new Scene file
- After saving that file, click the "Browse" button and select the new Scene file
- Select the Green Checkmark at the top of the “Edit Scene” property manager. The current template should now be updated with the scene settings added.
-
Use File > Save As to save over the Part or Assembly template
- Start a new file from the template to confirm the setting changes.
