Setting Scene Preferences
To set the Scene Preferences, choose Edit > Preferences to open the Preferences dialog and click on the Scene tab to enable it.
The Scene tab has the following options:
- Default Scene: Sets whether to open a default scene or not when a new document is created. Choose None to load an empty scene using the program defaults or Browse for Scene to locate and select a default scene to load. Useful if you have a particular lighting and camera setup you like to use when creating scenes.

- Ignore Viewport Background Colors on “Open”: When enabled, will ignore the saved background color in the scene file and use the current scene background color.
- Record Viewport Background Colors on “Save”: When enabled, saves the current background color with the saved scene file so that when it is re-opened, it will have the background colors you set.

- Ask Me: When selected, will ask you what you want to do.
- Always turn off limits: When selected, will always turn limits off.
