- 2 After clicking adjust you can also click bkg scale to type in the scale.
- 3 Repeat the steps above for any of the other main 2D views.
- 4 Click save scm which saves the whole scheme of adjusted backgrounds so you can easily load it next time.
Using mirrored background image on opposite sides
The use opp option: for example on the left side it will use the right side image and position, automatically flipped.
Make sure to delete the background image on the side you are trying to put an opposite image of the side that has the bkg. For example: You have loaded a background image on the right side, don't load the background image on the left side, go to the 2D view for the left side and right bottom corner above save scm there will be a button to use opp, press that and it should use the opposite background image from the right side.
