Change environment size and center

By default, environments are added to a scene at 1:1 scale, with their center corresponding to the center of interest of the scene. You can modify these characteristics.

To change the size of all geometry environments in the scene:

Select File > Scene Settings.
Move the Size of the environments in this scene slider, or type in a numeric value in the field beside the slider.

The environment is scaled to the new size. This setting is applied anytime a different environment is added to the scene.

To change the environment center:

Select File > Scene Settings.
Under “Center coordinates for the environments in this scene”, enter a new set of X, Y, Z coordinates for the environment center.

The new environment center is aligned with the scene center of interest. The same coordinates are used anytime a different environment is added to the scene.

Note

Autodesk Showcase uses a “Z-up” world, meaning that the Z-axis points up in any Autodesk Showcase environment. Keep this in mind when building models in other applications. If models are built in an application which does not use the Z-axis as the up axis, the model will appear rotated and mirrored after it is imported into Autodesk Showcase.
