Chopsaw Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 How many lights do you have turned on ? I think the limit is 8. It may not be where you moved the light to but rather moving it resequenced it back to the top of the list from wherever it was before beyond number 8. Just a guess. Would have to look at the plan to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scout1 Posted August 1, 2018 Author Share Posted August 1, 2018 all lights are off but the front porch the program seems to not want to put the lights in use here is a pick with all lights off except for porch lights as you can see the one porch light that I moved to outside eve works?

Chopsaw Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 I see you are not using X9. Try turning on "Update Lighting Automatically" or refresh manually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scout1 Posted August 1, 2018 Author Share Posted August 1, 2018 I have tried that I turned on all lights and did a Perspective full overview physically based all lights worked and cast light that were labeled outside ( 48 lights ) yes 48 in the view.. The lights that are under the patios did not work. I later zoomed inside a patio area and added a wall light as soon as I did the lights that were off on patio ceiling were all on? so I zoomed out of patio area the lights stayed on as soon as did something for screen to refresh the patio lights went out all other lights labeled outside stayed on????

Chopsaw Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 I could not reproduce the problem in my test plan. If you want to post the plan file I can take a quick look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scout1 Posted August 1, 2018 Author Share Posted August 1, 2018 I would need some other media to post file the plan size is to large Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 If you can compress it to 25 MB with a zip file you can post it or upload to cloud service and post link. Or make a copy of the plan and strip out unnecessary high poly items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scout1 Posted August 1, 2018 Author Share Posted August 1, 2018 problem solved: In the adjust lights layout if you are in a 3d view (Physically Based ) a new box is available ( lighting mode) you can change from automatic to ( light Set ) after this is checked any lights or number of lights that are on in plan inside or outside will now cast light in your view. A inside light will cast light onto the outside ground from inside through a window Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
