Edit a Lamp Component
You can edit the color, intensity and shadows of a lamp component selected from the browser by
editing the properties of the component.
- Do one of the following:
- Double-click the component in the model.
- Select the component in the model, right-click to open the
context-sensitive menu and select Properties.
- Open the Rendering branch in the object tree,
and double-click the component.
The Lamp Control dialog box opens.
- In the dialog box, you can select the following:
- Name: Enter a name for the lamp component. The name will
be used in the object tree and in the light table.
- Check box On: Switch the light on or off. The more there
are lamp components with light on in the model, the slower the
rendering process gets.
- Adjust the light intensity by moving the Intensity
slider or type a value between 0 and 1 in the text field. The
higher the intensity, the slower the rendering process gets.
- Change the color of the light by moving the Red,
Green and Blue sliders, or type the desired values
between 0 and 255 in the text fields.
- If necessary, you can examine the affect of the changes in the
model by clicking the Render button.
- Accept the changes by clicking the OK button.
- Visualize the model by using the menu bar function Draft
> Render (requires the Visualization add-on feature).
