LAMP TOOL

Hello,

How can I change the default lamp tool as shown in the image? The only option currently is to use this lamp. I don't see the spot lights or general lights for interiors.

 

Thanks

Hello @ANDREW-BIMBUILT ,

 

Is there something other than Default supposed to be here ? I think Default is always written there unless I'm mistaken.

 

If you want to change the lamp object, you need to choose another object it seems. To do so, you click on the super tiny arrow on the top left of this very pop up window (under Lamp Default Settings in the very narrow margin). Then you will be able to see the whole library and other lamp choices.

Thanks for your input. I click on the arrow and see a group of 3d lamps. I'm looking for the light source that's will show just light in a 3d rendering and not a 3d model. There use to be daylight,

and downlighting. 

Thanks

One of the 'General Light Sources' maybe?

Clic on the little black triangle on the top left. You just close the browsing part of the option window.

The little black triangle worked, shows me the interior light sources. The triangle is so small I never saw this on my monitor.

 

Thanks everyone for your help!
