Set Background
The default background of a visualized model is a graduated
background color. Set another background to the model as
follows:
- Select Rendering > Set
Background.
- Select a folder in the left frame of the browser. Thumbnail
images of the options in the folder will be displayed in the right
frame. The software supplier's backgrounds are in the System
folder, for example:
- Backgrounds - Most commonly used backgrounds.
- Backgrounds/Exteriors
- Backgrounds/Graduated colours
- Backgrounds/Interiors
- Backgrounds/Plain colours
- Backgrounds/Scaled image backgrounds - An image that is scaled
to fill the whole background.
- Backgrounds/Studio backgrounds - A backdrop of a photographic
studio.
- Backgrounds/Misc/Background Photos - A photograph on which a
model can be positioned using pairs of points.
- Backgrounds/Misc/Scaled Background Photos - A photograph on
which a model can be positioned using pairs of points. You can move
and scale the photo relative to the model after the model has been
positioned.
- Do either of the following:
- Double-click the thumbnail.
- Right-click on the thumbnail and select Select.
Note
- You can display the background by visualizing the model using
the Draft > Render function.
- Once you have added a background to the model, a new selection
will replace the old background.
- You can create your own backgrounds in the Shared folder, see
Create a New Background or
Foreground.
- A model can have both the background and the foreground at the
same time.
- You can also select this function in the object tree. Select
the object tree title
