I just found the solution, the lights have to be set before to make the model

Posting the rendered images isn't helpful in this case. You need to post the actual SketchUp scene in order for us to examine it and see if there is a problem.

The order in which lights are added to the scene has no impact on how they are rendered.

Please provide the following information:

Precise Version number of Twilght Render (plugins>Twilight V2>options>about)

It is possible that you have another plugin that is conflicting with Twilight Render and causing this very strange problem.

Be sure SketchUp is closed. Temporarily rename your Plugins folder to "Plugins-ALL" then create a new empty folder called Plugins. Then re-install Twilight Render V2 so that you have a clean installation. Then open SketchUp and create a clean new scene with a basic box 3m, 3m, 3m then insert a light inside the box, and render the scene on Low. If it works, then you can be sure that there's some other plugin causing a conflict with Twilght. If it does not work, then there's some other strange issue happening.

Please report back here after testing this.
