## Lighting Panel

The Lighting panel has options to control the position, color, and brightness of the lights. NVIZ uses a fill light and a main light. The fill light is a permanent dim white light directly over the surface. The main light controls the shading, which you adjust using the Lighting panel. As you adjust the lighting, a lighting model (sphere) appears on the surface and continually shows the effects of the lighting changes.

### OPTIONS
