	~~#REDIRECT~~ [[Sun angle]]		With the ''Environment'' menu, the [[sun angle]], [[solar panel]] positioning, [[lighting]] and other environmental settings for enhancing the [[3D Visualization]] can be adjusted, without functionally affecting the [[project]].

			===Water type===
			In the Environment panel you can choose different settings for the visualization of the water in the [[3D Visualization]]. Depending on the use case and the type of water you have in your project, one of the following styles can be applicable. Changing to another style will mean that all the water in the 3D model will have that style.
			*CANAL: default style of the water.
			*SEA: darker style for the water with waves, best suitable for modelling a large water body.
			*DELTAVIEWER: similar to the above style, is used in the Deltaviewer.

			===Sky===
			In the Environment panel you can choose different settings for the visualization of the sky in the [[3D Visualization]]. Depending on the use case and the time of day, several settings for the sky can be chosen:
			* DEFAULT: default style for the sky.
			* SUNNY: this style is suitable if the use case requires a sunny day.
			* CLOUDED: this style is suitable if the use case requires a cloudy sky.
			* EVENING: this style is suitable if the time of day is evening.

			===Water wind direction===
			The direction of the wind affects the visualization of [[Water Terrain]]s, specifically the direction of the waves. Additionally, some [[Special Effect]] particles are affected by wind direction, such as smoke. The units are [[geo angle]]s.

			===Terrain brightness===
			This setting changes the darkness of the [[Terrain\|terrain]] and satellite map background. By adjusting the slider, the brightness can be changed from dark to bright.
