3D & Lighting

Set 3D editing defaults and manual sunlight controls.

The 3D & Lighting settings provide a starting height for Push/Pull, perspective field of view and manual sun controls. Site geography is edited separately.

1

Open the section

Choose Settings → Canvas & drawing settings → 3D & Lighting. The panel contains 3D Defaults and Sun.

2

Set 3D defaults

Set Default Push/Pull Height using the active measurement units. Adjust Default Camera FOV to change the perspective field of view. These controls do not resize all existing solids.

3

Adjust sunlight

Set Azimuth, Elevation and Intensity under Sun, and toggle Enable Shadows. Check the result from the 3D view you will use. These are manual lighting controls; they do not establish the geographic site location or a date/time sun study.

4

Set geographic context separately

Use Site & location for the project’s location and north. Use the relevant Analysis or Presentation controls for their time-based or presentation-specific settings. Review the final output rather than assuming every renderer shares every visual setting.
