In Archicad 26 (3003 BRA Solo - Windows), it's not possible to change the light objects' layer in the toolbar. All other type of objects seems to work normally.

It appears I have the same issue.
Though if I enter the Lamp properties, I was able to change the layer in the Properties dialog box.

I just tried with AC26 Build 3010 and it works. I was able to change layers for a selected light using the Info Bar.

Hello,
Thank you all for highlighting this issue!
This is a new bug which is already entered in our database under DEF-10251.
Until the fix of this problem I suggest using the element setting dialog to change the 'Lamp' objects' layers.
Kind regards,
Dani Benjamin

Perhaps this is a Windows only problem? Because it works on Archicad 26 on my Mac.

Apparently only on Windows,
I checked on Archicad 26 INT FULL 3001 version on Windows yesterday, it does not work, only using the element setting dialog.

I've installed the latest version, AC26 4019, and the bug remains.
