Change Colour of CAM 3D View Background

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,

Sorry, not that I know of … :blush:

What’s about to use the Projection Tool instead? The Background would be your normal background color …


P.s.: Why is your example so much nicer than mine … :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

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 :slight_smile:

I don’t know exactly what you need … :blush: But it comes down to “Where is a will there’s a way” :laughing:

Okay.. How did you do that :smiley:

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:

:frowning:
You had me fooled … lol

I’ll just do as I always do.. screenshot then Irfanview - Adobe Perspective Plugin.. :cry:

Cheers

John,

There are more options beside ‘Isometric’ projections.
And even a solution for projecting inclined/rotated planes: Isometric Projections from Non-square Drawings

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.
