Edit Lights menu not working

Post by ajediiam » Mon Aug 24, 2020 7:01 pm

Greetings,

I have been using the hobby edition for some time now. Since one of the 2.14.x versions, my lights menu broke.

It is not yet fixed in the latest version 2.14.11.

I performed a clean install of both sketchup and twiligh render on another system which resulted in the exact same issue.
Any suggestions on how to solve it or is this a known bug?

Why do you think it's not working? If there are no lights listed, it's probably because there are no lights in the scene.

Try following the steps to add a light, and then see if it shows up in the menu.

One thing to note is that, in recent releases, we removed supported for converting old V1 scenes. So if you are opening an old V1 scene, that may be the reason you aren't seeing any lights listed.

When you go to insert a light, right-click and choose light type.
Does this work?
After inserting a light, are you able to list the lights in the scene?

I would like to presume you are using the editor correctly, but I can't see any image you have inserted in your post above.

Please be sure to watch the light video tutorial

Hi Chris,

I guess I'm not the first one to ask this question :)

You are correct. I was using an old scene. When I started sketchup again after a few months, the lights were gone. Adding lights worked differently then I recalled. I was probably thinking about a different renderer.
