I'm trying to see if I can "call" via a subroutine the "Geometric Shape" object into a "Light" object.
Is this problem documented anywhere?
This really screws up my lighting schedules if my downlight has to be an "object" vs. a "light."

Also it appears that the SEO depends on the state of the object when the object is acting as an operator. I'm trying to make the objects 3D display dependent based on glob_context. I want detail when in section view and simplicity in 3D view. Apparently the SEO does not recalculate itself as the geometry of the object changes based on glob_context. Any ideas?

Beeing part of a SEO operation causes other sates of GLOB_CONTEXT in the moment the calculation of the SEO is done itself. 43 SEO in 3D, 44 SEO in s/e. HTH

Thank you Frank. I saw those extra values for glob_context in the reference guide but was not sure what they all did. When would you use 22,23, or 24?

The twenties are for moving hotspots, the forties for the SEOs. The first digit is the context as known. The manual is not as bad as normal in this point. If you could read German, I would recommend selfgdl.com š
