: SCENE : Define:Light ObjectShortcut
: NoneNormally lights are not visible with DeskArtes. This command makes a surface appear as a visible light source in ExTrace. Using this technique you can simulate lamps or bulbs which are actually seen in the picture.
When executed this command first asks if the object should be made a light object, or (if it is already defined as such) if this property should be removed.
The command then offers three different possibilities to associate the light object with a light point:
If you wish to define several light points inside a light object, you must use scene editing to create and then move the light points inside the object. The light object has the total intensity and the combined color of all the light points contained within the object's bounding box. Note, however, that if a light object is later moved, the light points will not automatically follow.
