Machinery TwinScene settings
Lighting, background, materials, grid, axes and the performance monitor.
The gear button in the scene opens project-wide display settings (saved with the project):
| Setting | Effect |
|---|---|
| Material type | Standard (PBR, richer shading) or Lambert (cheaper, use for very heavy scenes) |
| Ambient light intensity | Base illumination, 0–1 |
| Directional light intensity | Key light, 0–1 |
| Background color | Scene backdrop, pick your presentation brand color |
| Show grid | Infinite reference grid plane |
| Show axes | XYZ origin axes helper |
| Performance monitor | Live FPS / draw calls / memory overlay |
The scene toolbar
Separate from settings, the toolbar over the viewport has camera presets (front/top/side/isometric), an orthographic ↔ perspective projection toggle, and quick grid/axes toggles.
Presentation tips
For demos: hide grid and axes, set the background to a dark brand tone, switch to a preset camera, then hit F11 (presentation mode).
For performance work: enable the monitor, then see the checklist in The simulation loop.
