Scene Properties¶
Scene¶
- Camera
- Used to select which camera is used as the active camera.
- Background
Allows you to use a scene as a background, this is typically useful when you want to focus on animating the foreground for example, without background elements getting in the way.
This scene can have its own animation, physics-simulations etc, but you will have to select it from the Scene data-block menu, if you want to edit any of its contents.
Tip
This can also be used in combination with Linking to a Scene, where one blend-file contains the environment, which can be re-used in many places.
- Active Clip
- Active movie clip for constraints and viewport drawing.
Units¶
- Length Presets
- Common unit scales to use.
- Length
- None
- Uses Blender Units.
- Metric, Imperial
- Standard unit of measurement for lengths.
- Angle
Standard unit for angular measurement.
Degrees, Radians
Tip
When you are using Degrees, the radian value is also displayed in the tooltip.
- Unit Scale
Scale factor to use when converting between Blender Units and Metric/Imperial.
Tip
Usually you will want to use the Length presets to change to scale factor, as this does not require looking up values to use for conversion.
- Separate Units
- When Metric or Imperial display units as multiple multiple values, for example, “2.285m” will become “2m 28.5cm”.
