What do ya say we cause a little trouble? Last week I made some extremely riveting points about setting up your SolidWorks interface for a better workflow. I’m sure it cause mild shaking and maybe a distant shriek of terror.
However, one thing that frustrates me to the point of making a really disturbing face, while people cringe in disgust around me, is the inability to create your very own custom scene without using PhotoWorks. Lame. Head-butt.
Do you use RealView?
What’s cool about SolidWorks 2008 and 2009 is using RealView when you’re modeling. A nice background scene makes the experience all the more special. Unfortunately, you typically need the PhotoWorks Scene Editor to add Scenes with different backgrounds. (PhotoWorks is a SolidWorks add-on available in Professional and Premium versions.)
Well, it just so happens, that you don’t need PhotoWorks at all, and it’s extremely easy to create your own Scenes with your own backgrounds. Here’s all the files and the steps you need to make it happen.
