You can go into the render settings and change the ground plane height and rotate the scene. I found that when applying material you have the two sets of selection tools. SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD solutions provide easy-to-learn, yet extremely powerful functionality that shortens product development time, reduces costs, and improves quality.
