Um, where are the light fixture objects in AC15? i've done a search, and a couple show up online, but there must be some in the libraries i would think. or maybe i'm using the wrong search terminology, should i be searching for something else?

When your in the Lamp Tool's settings window, type a "space" in the search box and hit return.
Every available lamp will be graphically displayed.

This works for the "Object Tool" too.

Hi,

Where can I find the Lamp Tool in ArchiCad 16? It does not show up in the ToolBox..

It is normally found in the More group in the Toolbox. The More group in many cases is collapsed if there is not enough vertical space to show it.

If it is not there, you are probably using your own Work Environment.
You should go to the Work Environemnt Dialog and apply the Standard Tools scheme to restore the default state of the Toolbox.

Please don't double-post. The answer was given in your other thread:
