Student Exercise
- Use the Camera tool to create an exterior perspective view, called Exterior Perspective, that shows the east exterior walls of the residence and studio.
- Use the View Control Bar to quickly review the appearance created by applying each of the visual style options, and choose Shaded With Edges to show the colors of the materials assigned (incorporating the effects of the lighting settings).
