View 3D model environment and lighting settings

The environment and lighting settings in the Viewer settings dialog control how light is applied to a 3D asset during viewing. These settings let you adjust directional light, spotlight, and ambient light to improve visibility when reviewing a model.

You can save any changes you make to your Viewer settings for the asset version you are viewing. Saved Viewer settings apply to that specific version of the asset and are shared with all users who view that version. To learn more, see Save and reset 3D Viewer settings.

    The Viewer settings dialog opens. It can be repositioned anywhere on the page or you can add it to the panes on either side of the asset.

  2. Select Environment and lighting .
