Environment

The environment can be used to control the background of the planning and the global illumination.
You can reach the environment via the quick selection bar. Here you can set the following:

Background

Load a background which can be seen behind windows or the outdoor facilities, for example. Any 360° panorama can be used. In addition to the rotation, you can also set the opening angle and the zoom level.
A skybox can be loaded as standard.

Ambient light

You can use the ambient light to control the global lighting. This also affects the color rendering and the reflection of the planned objects. You can use 360° HDRI data here. In addition to the rotation, the intensity of the lighting can also be adjusted.
You can find free 360° backgrounds and HDRIs here: https://hdrihaven.com/hdris/
You do not have to use the same file for the background and the ambient light. You can mix them.
