Deleting light sources

Tool(s): Set Project Light

You can delete artificial light sources you defined for a project, individually or several together.

• ATTENTION!
  Once deleted, light sources cannot be restored. You must define them from scratch.
  Therefore, we recommend that you first switch off the lights (using Light status) and check the effect before finally deleting the light sources.

To delete artificial light sources

1. Click Set Project Light (How).
   

   Activate Set Light for Project in one of the following ways

   • Menu bar: Change Presentation Animation

   • Toolbar: Change
   • Palette: Tools Change area in the following module(s):

   Animation

   • Shortcut menu: Navigation Mode selected - Right mouse button

   The Set project light palette opens.

   The Project light area lists all the light sources defined for the project. In addition, you can see the lights sources in the viewports.

2. To delete a single light source, click it in the palette or in a viewport.

   Or:

   To delete several light sources, select them in the viewport by enclosing them in a selection rectangle. As an alternative, you can also use the brackets.

   The Edit light palette opens and the light sources are displayed in the selection color in the open viewports.

   Tip: If you have inadvertently selected the wrong light source, all you need to do is return to the Set project light palette and select the light source you need.

3. Click Delete light at the bottom of the palette.

   The program deletes the selected light sources without prompting you to confirm. The Set project light palette opens again.

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to delete more light sources.

   Or:

   Press ESC to quit the tool.
