Problem

This article discusses the functionality to increase the 3D viewport size to fit the user's preference.

Visualize Viewport

Solution

Here are the steps to increase the viewport size in SOLIDWORKS Visualize:

Run Visualize and navigate to Tools > Options.
Go to '3D Viewport', choose a higher resolution at 'Maximum Resolution', and click OK.

Note that a higher resolution in the 3D Viewport requires more system resources when it renders live. We recommend considering working with a smaller viewport if you wish to experience a faster performance when working with a live viewport.
