How do I change rendering styles?

This tutorial requires:

DesignSpark Mechanical V6.0

Head into the Display -> Style tab and as an example, change the rendering style (highlighted icon) to metallic with a medium/high gloss finish.

You may notice that on switching graphics mode (shaded to wireframe or vice-versa), the shading turns a dull colour. You can change this be selecting another rendering style as shown above.

I'm a Mechanical Engineer by qualification though I worked for a long time specialising in Motion Control systems and integration with various PLC systems. I've wide experience of many types of applications from packaging machines to military and some applications that I can't mention. At home, I like to tinker and make things with wood, metal, plastics, electronics and mechanical system. I'm never happier than with a hammer and a screwdriver in my hands....
