Enhanced 3-D Lighting Options

The Enhanced 3-D Lighting Options are designed to allow you to adjust the Enhanced 3-D lighting for better composition. These lighting changes will only show up in the Enhanced 3-D.

Modifying the Enhanced 3-D Lighting

1. Follow the directions for opening the Enhanced 3-D (Presentations).
2. In the Enhanced 3-D window, click on the button Color Options.
3. Select Lights and click on the Modify This Item button.
4. A window will appear like the one below:
   
   • These options allow you to change the brightness (luminosity) and color of the light being used in the Enhanced 3-D image. This can be helpful if the image appears too bright or too dark, or if you would like to add a color tint to the image. You can apply the settings in the 3-D Room View or for each individual wall in the Draw Walls Screen when editing a wall. This means you can have one wall brighter or darker than another.

To modify the lighting:

1. Use the up and down arrows on the slider-bar to adjust the amount (percentage) of light (luminosity or brightness) that will be used in the Enhanced 3-D image. You can also type in the percentage amount in the edit field box on the left. Note: 100% Light means it will be at the maximum brightness. This does not mean the screen will be entirely white. Also, 0% (No Light) does not mean the screen will be entirely black. Rather, it means it will be at the minimum brightness while still allowing you to see the cabinets.
2. If you would like to change the color of the light (simulating Day, Night, or Mood), click on the Choose Color button. (See Adjust Colors for help with choosing solid colors.) The color White is the default color used for White Light
3. Click Done to apply the changes which will be saved with the job.

Modify the Enhanced 3-D Lighting for Each Wall Independently

1. Go to the Draw Walls Screen.
2. Click on the Edit Wall radio button.
3. Click on the wall you want to modify.
4. Click on the E-3D Color Options button.
5. Select Lights and click the Modify This Item button.
   • NOTE: Once you make changes to an independent wall, these changes will be saved with the wall. Any changes made in the 3-D Room View will not apply to walls that have been independently modified. To reset the wall, click on the Reset E-3D Colors button below the E-3D Color Options button when editing a wall.
