# Working with environmental conditions Environmental conditions can be created for the different temperature, humidity and atmospheric pressure conditions in your venue. An environmental condition can be added to a preset or a preset layer. Before a project is exported, it's important to make sure all of your beams are optimized for the different environmental conditions you need for your venue. ### Creating environmental conditions To create an environmental condition, navigate to the toolbar and click on the Create Environmental Conditions icon

. Here you can set the **Temperature**, **Humidity** and **Atmospheric Pressure** in your venue.

### Adding environmental conditions to presets Navigate to the environmental condition in the Library and right-click **Add to Preset**. When an environmental condition is added to a preset, extra beam variants will automatically be added to the preset which have the additional atmospheric conditions properties, and these need to be optimized in order to be played. Head to the Jobs Panel to see the beams that need to be optimized. Their status will be labelled as **Missing** and the optimization jobs can be queued from the list.

Another way to view which environmental conditions a preset has if it is not active is to navigate to the preset and click to open the Properties Panel on the right. Here, you will find a list of the environmental conditions that have been added to the preset. ### Changing environmental conditions A preset's environmental conditions can be viewed in the Top Panel above the viewport. Here you can view the active environmental condition and change the environmental condition.

Nothing will be visible when the Simulation is activated if all beams in the preset have not been optimized for the selected environmental condition. Head to the Jobs Panel to see which beams have the **Missing** status.

### Simulating environmental conditions Environmental conditions can also be created to test how a preset will perform under a certain set of atmospheric circumstances. To find out how environmental conditions affect the simulation, visit the Simulating Environmental Conditions section. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.holoplot.com/holoplot-plan/working-with-presets/working-with-environmental-conditions.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
