Once you 'go to 3D' in HydraCAD, you get a wireframe model. This is actually a Visual Style named '2D Wireframe'. If you would like to make a more professional looking presentation, you could apply a different Visual Style. To open up the Visual Style palette, type in VISUALSTYLES or pick the Visual Style button from the HydraCAD SMaRT toolbar.
This brings up the Visual Style palette, from which you can choose a new style:
For example:
The 3D Model 'as is' (Visual Style = 2D Wireframe)
Now, try the Visual Style named Conceptual:
Or, even better, try the Visual Style named Shaded(AutoCAD 2012 or newer):
Pretty, huh? Expect even better results on a 3D Riser!
