Rotating a light

Anonymous
Not applicable
I am wondering how to turn the recessed light from the Archicad 8.1 lib so that it points up. I want to use it as a floor light in a cupboard lighting clothes from below.

It only seems to rotate around one axis (Z) whereas I would like to rotate it around the y or x axis.

Thanks

Giles

Quickly answering without looking at the actual object... if it has no other rotate options, you'll have to insert either
ROTX 180
or
ROTY 180
at the beginning of the 3D script and that might do the trick.
