Background color

Background color allows you to uniquely stylize your scene by choosing a scene background color to improve your story. For example, you can choose a white background that emphasizes your buildings. When you select a background color the sky and stars in your scene are removed and only the selected color is visible for the scene background.

1. Click the Background color palette to choose a custom color for your scene background.

   To remove the custom color and restore the scene atmosphere, click No Background Color in the palette.

2. Click Done.

3. Navigate around the scene to a new camera view and click the Update To Current View button to update the clipped extent to reflect your current view in the scene.
