About Customizing Light Scenes
You can customize all predefined light scenes (except Headlight) in the Creo View user interface or by editing the LightScenes.xml file. The file is located in the following location:
%APPDATA%\ptc\ProductView
Customizing through the user interface is simple and limited. Editing the XML file is more complex, but gives you more flexibility, including the ability to add light scenes. Information about using the Creo View client follows. For information about editing the XML file, see the section “About Editing the LightScenes.xml File” below.

You can also change the default light scene for new views. (See
To Change the Default Lighting Setup.)
|
The settings for lighting are saved with the view. You can customize and save one light scene per view.
In the Creo View user interface, you can customize predefined light scenes.
|
|
You can only customize one predefined light scene per view.
Selecting a second light scene to customize causes the first light scene to revert to its original settings.
|
You can change the Ambient, Specular, and Diffuse settings for the selected light scene.
You can add shadows to the view.
Your custom light scene is saved with the current view. Each view in the file can have a different custom light scene.
About Editing the LightScenes.xml File
Edit markup in LightScenes.xml to change settings for the three predefined light scenes:
• Single Light
• 2 Lights
• 3 Lights
(The settings for Headlight are not encoded in the XML file.) When you save the XML file, the settings in it become the new predefined light scenes. Then, you can customize the setups in the user interface as described above.
