Change the background colour of your design

  1. Open an existing design in My Designs or create a new design using Shaper or Blocker.

  2. Select the Workspace tab


  3. Click once on any of the pre-selected background colours to choose that colour for your design. Click on the more options (•••) button to mix your own colour.

Change the lighting colour in your design

  1. In the Workspace tab, select the Lighting section.

  2. Click once on any of the pre-selected lighting colours to apply that lighting colour to your design. Click on the more options (•••) button to mix your own colour. You'll notice that changing the lighting colour affects the appearance of your design, just like the lights in a theatre.



Change the lighting angle in your design

  1. In the Workspace tab, select the Lighting section.

  2. Use the pink dial to change the angle of your light.


*Adjusting your lighting angle is especially useful when used with AR mode - try to match the direction of the natural light in your AR view for the best results.
