I am only seeing renders as grey solids - my 19-object (1424 poly) is in 4 colors. I have seen preview renders of other projects in color. Perhaps I hit a setting or option and I don’t know where to undo that. And, now that I have touched some more preferences, the mini-preview portal at the top-left is also showing grey-on-blue background.

Thanks.

You might want to give your objects a material. Select an object - or a part of an object - and click on M. Then set the light in the Sky Lab. Hard to say what the problem is from your description.

It’s a long shot, but check to make sure you have not accidentally disabled texture rendering.

Seems I may have had textures off. It looks correct now. How can I remove sky, ground, and water leaving only the object that I created with no background whatsoever?

I would like to export my small creation as an object but it is not providing the option. It does not indicate a boolean “C” next to it, but also does not have an “E” next to it.

Set the sky to grey or black and delete the ground plane to isolate your object. As for exporting, it is difficult to answer your question without knowing how the object was created.
