Problem

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

Solution

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

Open Visualize and navigate to Tools > Options

Go to "3D Viewport", choose a higher resolution at "Maximum Resolution", and click "OK".

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 faster performance when working with a live viewport.

For additional support, existing customers can submit a ticket or new customers can contact Hawk Ridge Systems.
