Select Background Effect
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
OptionsOrientation. This background is not supported for 2D sheets.
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.
