Graduated background
■ Horizon - the background of the 3D scene is split across the horizontal
plane giving the effect of a sky and the ground. The resulting artificial
horizon gives you an indication of your orientation in the 3D world. By
default, the artificial horizon respects the world up vector as set in File
Options ➤ Orientation. This background is not supported for 2D sheets.
NOTE The artificial horizon is a background effect, and does not include a
physical ground plane. So, for example, if you navigate “under the ground”
and look up, you will not see the back of a ground plane, instead you will see
the model from beneath, and a background filled with the sky color.
