ride the default background, and then click OK.
Choose Solid or Gradient if you want a studio-type scene, or choose Image if you
have a suitable raster image to highlight your model. Any of these options displays
the Background dialog box where you make your settings (see Figure 23-7). Choose
Sun & Sky if you want to place your model in the great outdoors (and it's always fair
weather in AutoCAD!). Choosing the last option displays the Adjust Sun & Sky Back-
ground dialog box, as shown in Figure 23-8.
