Re: Light doubt

Yes you can, but if it has no effect, keep in mind that light can't go through an opaque surface.

Re: Light doubt

Guilherme,

There still are a few issues with light.
1 - Light cannot be exported or imported.
If you have a lamp without light, you cannot add a light to it, then export and import it, in the hope that you then have a lamp with light. The light doesn't survive this process.
2 - Mirrors do not reflect light
If you look at an object in a mirror, you will be able to see that object.
If that object is in the dark, you will (obviously) not be able to see that object. You cannot use a mirror to throw light on your object, because the mirror doesn't reflect the light.

thank you Hans, so the best option is to add the light source that already have in the library and try to put it closer to the bulb ? i dont know if you understood because my english is not good, but thanks very much for the help guys, sorry for the stupid questions but i wanna do it right u know...

Re: Light doubt

Hi,
I've had Sweet Home 3D for a few years, and since the introduction of lights, I've been pretty happy. When I came across a light that did not produce light, I just added a light source near it. It gives the same effect.
