With Breakroom's Region Editor, you aren't limited to customizing physical spaces. The very elements are also yours to control, allowing you to create sunny, happy office parks or atmospheric nighttime events.
To open the Sky editing window, follow these steps.
Navigate to the Region that contains the object you want to edit.
Open the Region Editor by clicking the Edit Region button in the bottom toolbar.
Click the Sky button in the function tray.
As you can see in the image above, there are many different options to explore. The best way to get started is to play with the sliders and judge the virtual sky effects in real time. As far as control settings, there are a few key items to review.
Master Control - Reset to Default button
Clicking this button will revert any custom changes you've made, and restore the Region's default sky settings.
Master Control - Override Sky Settings
In order to make changes to a Region's sky settings, this box must be checked. If you uncheck it and save your work, the Region's default sky settings will be restored.
Clock Settings - Use Fixed Time
If this box is checked, you can "freeze" your atmospheric settings at a certain time of day (e.g. sunset) using the slider. If this option remains unchecked, your Region will experience an animated day-to-night cycle.
Clock Settings - Synchronize to UTC
If this option is checked, your Region's day-to-night cycle follow the UTC time zone.
Weather Settings - Enable Random Weather
If this box is checked, random weather events will change the sky's color, haziness, and general presentation.
