Viewport

One can find the settings for the viewport shading in the top right corner of the 3D viewport. These are the shading modes available from left to right:

  • Wireframe

  • Solid

  • Material preview

  • Rendered

We suggests to use Material preview shading for structure viewing and material setting. Use Solid shading for structure editing, especially for large system (> 10000 atoms). Use Rendered for lighting setup and rendering.

For each viewport shading, one can find its setting by expand the viewport shading menu.

For example, in solid shading, there are four sections:

  • Lighting

  • Color

  • Background

  • Options
