The Settings panel

A guided tour of every Settings group: lighting, environment, sites, deployment, viewport feel, snapping, touch, and accessibility.

Open in the interactive manual →

The interactive version has full-text search, a table of contents, and light/dark themes.


The Settings panel (Windows ▸ Settings, or the gear in most panel headers) gathers all the scene- and editor-wide options. The groups, and where each is covered in this manual:

GroupWhat's in it
AI AssistantYour Anthropic key, model, vision toggle, and fal.ai generation.
LightingLive vs Studio sun & sky, and the time-of-day control (live / always-day / set a time).
EnvironmentSky presets (Live sky · Void · Deep blue · Plain colour), background, fog.
Visitor SpawnPin the camera pose visitors land on when they open the published scene.
Visitor ChromeWhere the visitor-facing extras sit on the published scene: reactions and the guestbook, each either In the menu (the default, which keeps the canvas clear) or On the scene as a floating pill. Whether each one exists at all is a per-site switch on your Account page; this only controls where it shows up. Loading placeholders lives here too: what a model looks like before it has arrived.
SitesYour named sites: active, primary, create, take down and put back, delete.
DeploymentStatic export and Google verification.
Viewport FeelRender quality, LOD, texture caps, idle camera motion, and post-processing (bloom, DOF, and sun god rays & lens flare).
Transform SnapSnapping increments.
Selection + Visual FeedbackHighlight style, grid, camera markers.
Mobile & TouchTouch input mode (gestures, corner joysticks, or guided scroll), with a section-bar direction for guided scroll, plus the joystick pan and look speeds, an invert-look-Y toggle, and how solid the on-screen sticks look.
AccessibilityThe hardware badge and motion options.

Theme

The editor follows a Theme setting of Auto (matches your operating system), Light, or Dark, alongside a density option and a reduce-motion toggle. (This very knowledge base has the same light/dark toggle in its top bar. Try it.)
