Add Light 
Materials/Light> Add Light
 

Description:

      The Add Light command will create a light at the center of the work grid, based on parameters that you specify in the Light Options window (Materials/Light > Add Light > ...).  In that window you can set default values for the type of light (point, spot, or directional), the color of the diffuse, ambient, and specular components of the light, and several values that affect the way the light grows dimmer with distance from the source (constant attenuation, linear attenuation, polynomial attenuation, spot exponent, and spot cutoff).  See the help file on the Light Properties dialog for more information on these settings.


Notes:

- Once a light is created, you can edit its type and settings using the Light Properties dialog.

- You can enter vertex selection mode while a light is selected to change its direction for directional and spot lights.
