Core
Browse Scene History Allows you to download old saves of your scene. The file will be saved in a .json.
⬆️ Scene History
Scene Type Is a feature we are currently working on. The only working Scene Type other than Default is ARCS. ARCS is used for HoloLens programs.
Controls Type Allows you to switch between Default and First Person. Defualt controls are identical to those used in the Scene Editor--You use your mouse to move the camera view with a decently quick response time to interactions. First Person controls puts the camera view in a fixed position, moving your mouse will control the camera view, clicking in a direction will move the camera. First Person movement is distinctly slower than Default controls, as it is meant to stay in the fixed camera position.

Lighting
Enviornment Lighting Map Attatches an HDR file to reference for optimal lighting. An HDR file includes more color information, this makes an HDR a useful tool to acheive a more realistic look in your scene.
Toggle Physically Correct Lighting on when using multiple lighting elements. By toggling this setting on, the Scene will process color differently, giving a more reaslistic look.
By Default your Scene will have a white Ambient Light set to 1. I recommend changing these settings before adding another Ambient Light element.
Environment
Background Color By defualt is set to white. Select the color picker to alter the color. The color of the background will not affect the lighting of models in your scene.
tip
Change your scene's background color to better see your elements and depth models.
Show Floor adds a plane to your scene which stretches the width of your file.
You can toggle on Fog, which adds a vinette effect in the background. Select your Fog's color by clicking the white circle. To select where the Fog will be visible, move the sliders for Fog Near and Fog Far. The Fog will appear between the two values selected--If your Fog Near is set higher than your Fog Far it will give an unappealing look.
Language
info
In order to add Closed Captions to your scene, you must first input all language options. Click Add Option to add another language, you can add as many lanaguages as you need. With more lanaguages comes more scene data, which will be a heavier load to run.
⬆️ Language Options, Display Names, Titles, and Closed Caption Help Text
note
The text you input for these options will appear in the Language Select Menu. You can toggle this menu on and off, as well as show on load.

Gyro Controls Is a Mobile feature which is used for navigation within panoramas.
Panorama Transition Will change the aniamtion between exiting and entering a new panorama. By Default there is no transition. Zoom transistion zooms in between panormas and adds a feeling of motion. Fade trasition blurs the panoramas.
Tone Mapping Changes how ProViz processes graphics and colors.
The easiest way to change the Starting Camera Position is to move your view inside of the Scene Editor to exactly where you want the camera to start, then press Use Current Camera.
