This is a left-over from a previous version of PoseRay. This option was 
removed as it added a plane{} to the scene when exported to POV-Ray. 
There was little control on how that plane was textured or positioned. 
So I decided to remove it and leave the sky/background dialog for that 
where you can put any background POV-Ray code you need for the scene. 
Anything from skies to trees and ground. The statement Applicable to 
POV-Ray renders only is there because PoseRay is used by people that 
want to edit materials or subdivide a model and reexport it to OBJ. If 
they add a ground to the scene they may think new geometry is added to 
the scene.

I just saw that issue and I will look into it. I think you are right 
about the scaling and orientation.

thanks for the bug report.
