Changing 3D Model Lighting
The appearance of the 3D Model may be also affected by the light properties.
Changing lighting modes
To change the lighting of a 3D model:
Deselect all parts by clicking on the white space anywhere in the bounding box.

Mode 1 (1 light)
Mode 2 (2 lights)

Changing light intensities
While you are rotating a 3D model, some parts may appear too white or too dark because lighting intensity may be too strong at a given relative angle to the light sources. To remedy this, you can change the light intensities.
To change the intensity of light:
Deselect all parts by clicking on the white space anywhere in the bounding box.
