Where did "background bitmap" go??
So i was giong to do a sketch using "background bitmap" as help just as i have done a million times in TSV6 but the option does not exist anymore.
Cannot really find any info in the help section or the users guide. I suppose it´s called something else now or is it just not implemented yet?
Also another question: "environment", does it only work for refection in parts while rendering?
It would be nice to be able to use an enviroment for background customization instead of just top- and bottom color...
Thanks!

Hi Barspin,
At this point, I do not believe that the Background BitMap function exists in TopSolid 7 yet. If I was to guess, it will probably come in a future version some time. As you know, TopSolid 7 is a completely new product and has a lot of growing to do! I have already seen some of the functionality for the 2010 version and all I can say is WOW!
As for the Environement function. You are correct. It is currently usable only on parts that have reflection ability on them. The environemnt simply gives them something to reflect.

It is possible to display the environment in the background with the command Visualization / Environment as Background. The view must be in a realistic render mode with a conical camera.
The environment can also be displayed when rendering a ray-traced image by setting the background option as "Environment" in the dialog pane.
