Hi Andrew
Is there a way to change the Colour of the QCADCAM Background in 3DView from Black to Another Colour?
I'm not using the view as intended I want to quickly get a perspective view of work on my screen...
I hope this makes sense..
Cheers
John

Hi John,

What's about to use the Projection Tool instead? The Background would be your normal background color ...John Hyslop wrote: ↑Fri Sep 30, 2022 1:52 amI'm not using the view as intended I want to quickly get a perspective view of work on my screen...

Re: Change Colour of CAM 3D View Background
Hi Husky
Thanks for the prompt reply... yes I looked at that but I would prefer it to be perspective
rather than Isometric.. I know I'm being fussy but I have my reasons for doing this![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)

Re: Change Colour of CAM 3D View Background
The part is designed in QCAD, saved as 2D dxf, imported into a 3D CAD ... and then I changed the background.
Extruding would be the next step but ...![Wink :wink:](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)

Re: Change Colour of CAM 3D View Background
John,
There are more options beside 'Isometric' projections.
And even a solution for projecting inclined/rotated planes: https://qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=5987
I'm not sure if the CAM 3D view is a vanishing point perspective, if that's what you're looking for.
That is also not the case for Perspective.gif in the example of Husky.
I know that my CNC driver CAM preview has such an option.
For illustration, one can always change the colors of the image itself. :Wink:
One can even set 'black' as transparent color so that the background is the page or paper background.
Regards,
CVH
