Low Tech ----&gt; Morph it, then rotate it - loosing all it's Light properties.<BR /> 2. Hi Tech ----&gt; Copy the object with a different name, then add <BLOCKQUOTE><B>ROT, ROTX, ROTY, ROTZ</B><BR /> <I></I><S><I><I></I></I></S>ROT x, y, z, alpha<E></E><BR /> Rotates the local coordinate system around the axis defined by the vector (x, y, z) by alpha degrees, counterclockwise. It has only one entry<BR /> in the stack, thus it can be deleted with DEL 1.</BLOCKQUOTE> to the 3D script, and change the x-y-z variables to something else, create the parameters in the Parameter panel.</LI></UL> Hope it helps Tue, 18 Mar 2014 19:02:33 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Recessed-Light-Pitched-Ceiling/m-p/146754#M78774 Nando Mogollon 2014-03-18T19:02:33Z
