Taking a Screen Shot

During a realtime walkthrough, you can save the contents of the screen to a picture file. You can then edit it using the Realtime Picture Editor or any other picture editing software.

To take a screen shot, press F5. A standard Windows file dialog will then appear and ask you where you would like to save the file. After the file has been saved, the program will continue the realtime walkthrough.

To print a screen shot, see Printing a Screen Shot.

To save a screen shot that includes an alpha channel for transparency, use the TGA file format. This is useful when you want to create pictures of custom designs for use in Realtime Landscaping Photo. See Creating Pictures for Realtime Landscaping Photo for details.
