Applying Renderworks backgrounds
A Renderworks background can be applied to individual viewports, or to all design layers in a file.
Spotlight users can also set the Renderworks background with the Set Spotlight Rendering Options command; see Setting Spotlight rendering options (Vectorworks Design Suite product required).
To apply a Renderworks background to a viewport:
Select RW Background from the Object Info palette of a selected viewport.
If the viewport's Background Render is set to a Renderworks style that uses a Renderworks background, the background can not be changed from the Object Info palette; see Renderworks styles.

To apply a Renderworks background to design layers:
Select the command.
Alternatively, double-click on the resource from the Resource Manager or drag the resource into a design layer, or select a background on the Edit Design Layers dialog box.
The Set Renderworks background dialog box opens.
Select the Renderworks background from a library or the current file.
When the drawing is rendered in a Renderworks or Shaded mode, the background is applied to all design layers.
