Global Settings hold common settings to whole SCS Blender Tools addon and are defined either per-machine or per-blender file, depending on user choice.
'''''SCS Global Settings''''' sub-palette panel can be found within '''''SCS Tools''''' panel in inside '''''SceneWorkspace''''' settings of the Properties window.
[[File:SCS_Tools_Properties_-_icons_01SCS_Tools_Globals_01.png]] There are two sub-panels (categorizing most of the properties into proper layout) and panel for uncategorised global settings. [[File:SCS_Tools_Globals_01280.png]]
There are three sub-panels categorizing properties into proper layout.
__TOC__
If paths are set properly is clearly seen from color of its background – if any entry is faulty, the background is in red color and needs to be set to the valid location or valid library file.

=== SCS Project Base Path ===
''[“*.txt” file, absolute file path]''
Shader Presets library filepath. This library has been created specially for loads all effects that can be used in SCS Blender Tools and thus it is located in its installation folderMaterials. The correct By default this path should will be set automatically. === Conversion Tools Path === Property holding path to directory where you extracted [[Documentation/Tools/Conversion Tools|Conversion Tools]] and is used by operators from [[Documentation/Tools/empty, as SCS Blender Tools/Conversion Helper|Conversion Helper]]. Also note that you should select proper conversion tools depending on the game is taking internal shader presets library, but if you ever want to use custom library, make sure to tick checkbox on left side of filepath and then search for your content forcustom shader presets library.

=== Drawing Mode ===
Drawing mode for custom elements (i.e. Locators and Connections). It switches between Normal and X-Ray mode. Normal mode use normal depth testing drawing so all the custom elements are drawn within the scene the same way as the other objects, while the X-Ray mode use X-Ray drawing making all the custom elements visible on top of the other objects.
=== Icon Theme === Here you can select desired icon theme to use for custom SCS Blender Tools icons, depending on which suits to your blender theme the best. By default White theme is used. === Display Info Texts === Switches displaying of different additional information texts for Locators directly in 3D View. This is very useful when you work on Prefab models. For example, you can display only the Locator Names, or Boundary Lanes or Nodes. ===Info Text Color === Custom color for Info Texts. === Base Paint Color === For greater diversity in SCS games there is paintable functionality, which is usually used on AI traffic cars and makes each car using different color based on it's configuration in SII file. However as Blender Tools does not read this kind of SII files, every shader with "paint" flavor will use this base paint color property for previewing. In case you don't want to change look of shaders with this functionality make sure this property in display setting has set complete white color RGB(1.0, 1.0, 1.0). === Show Preview Models === Turns on and off displaying of Preview models for Locators.
