In Autodesk Navisworks, you can choose a background effect to use in the Scene View.
Currently, the following options are available:
- Plain - the background of the scene is filled with the selected color. This is the default background style. It can be used for 3D models and 2D sheets.
Plain background
- Graduated - the background of the scene is filled with a smooth gradient between the two selected colors. This background can be used for 3D models and 2D sheets.
Graduated background
- Horizon - the background of the 3D scene is split across the horizontal plane giving the effect of a sky and the ground. The resulting artificial horizon gives you an indication of your orientation in the 3D world. By default, the artificial horizon respects the world up vector as set in File Options
Orientation. This background is not supported for 2D sheets, or in orthographic mode. Note: The artificial horizon is a background effect, and does not include a physical ground plane. So, for example, if you navigate “under the ground” and look up, you will not see the back of a ground plane, instead you will see the model from beneath, and a background filled with the sky color.
