Define canvas size for an environment by setting the values in pixels manually or dragging the corners to the desired size. To scale the viewport depending on canvas size, use the Zoom Level-slider at bottom right. After finishing the configuration, save all canvas settings with the Save-Button at the top right.

  • Canvas with a resolution of 1920 x 1080

  • Section 02: Position: (960, 0); Size: 960 x 1080
