    Sun settings

    What is the difference of the Intensity factor in General and Sky Properties? I'm trying to get a mild sunshine coming through the windows in a interior of a room scene, but can not get it right. Also is there a way to make the walls look straight in a wide angle view?

    Thank you for your help.

    I really like the way it looks as is--the amount of sun coming in is very nice, and the perspective looks right.   What are your render settings (sun intensity, sky & illum., etc.)?

    Switch from a parallel to perspective view, and you will be able to turn on the sky.   I am not sure what's going on with your sun setting, but one thing to look at is your geographic location and what direction you are facing in your drawing.    Take a look at what happens when you change the direction.

    How are you getting into Perspective?   Try right clicking, select 3D Orbit, then immediately right click again and check Perspective.

    Have the same problem - if nothnig works I just purge drawing and copy all the stuff (or only 3D ojects)  to new dawing (good old CTR/C & CTR/V)  to make sun work (sky and syn becoms "clicable" )
