I'm using Revit 2013 and although my graphics menu says that I should have a sky, horizon and ground color displayed for some reason they've disappeared in 10 different 3d views?

Thanks for any help.

Make sure your camera is looking 'up' to see the sky and horizon properly. Definately not looking down.

Thanks.

I'm not sure but I think this is just a background and has nothing to do with what the camera see's.  At any rate, I would at least see the ground if what you're saying is applicalble.  Is this correct?

I just know that the gradient background, sky, ground, horizon depands on the perspective camera position, target position and angle.

The 'Sun' position also comes into play.

Have a look here as well as the comment on the post.
