Is there a way to create a LumenRT scene and adding it to the standard scene selection tab when starting up the program? I would like to create a blank scene much like "simple ground" only without the sky and clouds and a flat black terrain, so really a blank scene that ignores the "real world feel" just to take advantage of lumenRT's lighting and VR capability for model reviews that don't need the environment until much later on. it also helps with doing fly through videos where a client doesn't want to see hills and sky just the model.

Yes if you were to add it to the Scene Preset Folder found in the following:
C:\ProgramData\Bentley\Bentley LumenRT CONNECT Edition - Update 13\LumenRT Content\LumenRT\ScenePresets\Scene Presets

Clouds can be turned off in the Sun and Atmosphere settings. As Ankur pointed out you cant remove the sky, but as an alternative in the file you create you can have it default to use a custom HDR map for the sky, this would be an alternative to what Aknur suggested of creating a large box see:

Let me give the HDR map a try and i will attempt a sphere to enclose the model, i do however have an issue presenting on the model with that too, since it seems that when you breach the "design cube" limitations the lighting does work as one would think, for example inside a closed box i was still getting shadows and there was no transparency set to the box itself. the model im working on is also set to get bigger so i will keep the thread upadted with the changes and work-arounds i find to get this looking good
