Edit a Lamp Component

You can edit the color, intensity and shadows of a lamp component selected from the browser by editing the properties of the component.

1. Do one of the following:
   • Double-click the component in the model.
   • Select the component in the model, right-click to open the context-sensitive menu and select Properties.
   • Open the Rendering branch in the object tree, and double-click the component.

   The Lamp Control dialog box opens.

2. In the dialog box, you can select the following:
   • Name: Enter a name for the lamp component. The name will be used in the object tree and in the light table.
   • Check box On: Switch the light on or off. The more there are lamp components with light on in the model, the slower the rendering process gets.
   • Adjust the light intensity by moving the Intensity slider or type a value between 0 and 1 in the text field. The higher the intensity, the slower the rendering process gets.

     

   • Change the color of the light by moving the Red, Green and Blue sliders, or type the desired values between 0 and 255 in the text fields.

     

3. If necessary, you can examine the affect of the changes in the model by clicking the Render button.
4. Accept the changes by clicking the OK button.
5. Render the model by selecting Rendering | Render Style | Rendered (requires the Rendering add-on feature).
