Hi,
I realise this may be an artlantis question, however, when i place the lights in archicad, when i try to save the ArchiCAD file as an artlantis file and it asks the question about lights to export, the function to export or enable lights isn't active and wont allow me to export these. therefore i thought this may be an archicad question.

Thanks

Renee
you have to set-up lights in Internal rendering engine in archicad - the lights have to be on. Archicad exports what is setup in Internal engine, not in Lightworks.

Atleast nowadays also ArchiCAD student version has exactly the same libraries as the full version.
Artlantis should be the same, but I'm not as sure about that one.
