Shading Type

Views > Properties > Edges > Shading type

HiCAD provides various shading methods:

Flat

The surfaces are shaded with equal intensity, depending on the lighting. This is the simplest and fastest procedure.

Gouraud

Depending on the brightness at the corner points, the surfaces are shaded with linearly interpolated brightness which gives a 'round' impression.

Proceed as follows:

1. Select the required shading procedure by activating the appropriate radio button.
2. Click the appropriate button to specify to which views of the drawing you want to apply the procedure.
3. Click OK to exit the dialogue window.
