Gantry

Settings

Open Settings from Gantry - Settings (or ⌘,). Settings are divided into Appearance and Privacy sections.

Appearance

Section titled “Appearance”

Viewport Background

Section titled “Viewport Background”

Controls the solid colour shown behind the model when Use Environment as Background is off in the environment picker.

  • Adapt to system appearance — Gantry automatically uses a light background in Light Mode and a dark background in Dark Mode.
  • When disabled, separate colour pickers for Dark and Light modes let you choose exact colours for each appearance.

Grid

Section titled “Grid”

The reference grid helps with scale and alignment assessment in the viewport.

  • Show grid in viewport — Toggles the grid on or off globally. This applies to all windows.
  • Adapt to system appearance — When enabled, Gantry automatically chooses grid colours that match your Light or Dark mode setting.
  • When appearance adaptation is off, you can set independent colours for:
    • Major grid lines — The primary, less-frequent lines that mark larger intervals
    • Minor grid lines — The denser subdivision lines between major lines

Both major and minor lines have separate colour pickers for Light Mode and Dark Mode.

Privacy

Section titled “Privacy”

Anonymous Usage Analytics

Section titled “Anonymous Usage Analytics”

Gantry can share anonymous usage data with the development team via TelemetryDeck, a privacy-first analytics service. This helps identify which features are used and where issues occur.

What is collected:

  • App launch events
  • Feature interactions (inspector toggle, environment menu, undo)
  • File load and export outcomes (success or failure, file type)

What is never collected:

  • File names, paths, or content
  • Any personally identifiable information

Toggle Share anonymous usage analytics off at any time to opt out. The setting takes effect immediately.
