View > Photo-Realism > Edit Source Light
Selects a light in the model and adjusts its properties.
-
To use this functionality, you must install the Photo-Realism module.
-
Lights placed using MicroStation cannot be edited.
-
Click View > Photo-Realism > Edit Source Light. You also can select Edit Light on the Photo-Realism toolbar.
-
If there is more than one light in the model, the Edit Source Light dialog box displays, allowing you to select the light that you want to edit.
-
Modify any properties as needed.
-
If you have selected multiple lights on the Edit Source Light dialog box, the software cycles through all the selections until there are no more lights to edit.
-
Source lights are listed in the order that they were placed.
-
The geometry for lights that cannot be edited (that is, MicroStation lights) appears "dim" in the model.
-
Like any other piece of geometry, you can place any light, including non- editable MicroStation lights, into a display set. The raytracer does not use lights that are in a hidden display set in the rendered image. This feature allows you to manipulate the use of non-editable lights for raytracing without modifying the original geometry file.
