This page provides information on the rendering styles in Enscape.


## **Overview**

---

In the Visual Enscape Settings window, located under the **Main** Tab, a section named **Style** provides options to allow you to change the way that Enscape renders your projects. You will notice that the **Style** section contains, by default, a slider named **Outlines** and a drop-down menu that is named **Mode**. These ‘Modes’ allow a user to apply unique styles to their projects and produce a Maquette or Sciographic, Hatched Sketch, Watercolor rendered image style and lots more.

To access these options, make sure Enscape is running and then open the **Visual Settings** window using the associated button in the Enscape Viewport user interface, as shown highlighted to the right in the following screenshot.

Outlines can be used to highlight individual forms, achieving a more illustrative look. The thickness of the outlines can be controlled using the outline slider. Here is a quick comparison of outlines varying from **0** to **75** percent.
