Working with Projects

Setting up the Environment

In your project, you can set up the daylight and change the texture on the ground.

To apply a new texture to the ground, follow the instructions from the Applying Materials to Objects section. Useful materials can be found in the Environment category of the material library.

The daylight controls are located in the Lights tab of the Inspector.

Environment settings

1 – Choose a predefined time of day: 6:00 a.m., 12:00 p.m., 6:00 p.m., or 12:00 a.m.. The last button lets you set your own time.

2 – Custom time of day.

3 – Amount of clouds.

4 – The Latitude of your location.

5 – The number of degrees to North. By changing this value, you rotate the compass on the floor plan (not the whole project), and change the direction of the sun in the 3D view.
