How To

To activate a spotlight, do one of the following

• Press the keyboard shortcut $.

If you have more than one spotlight in the scene (and no spotlight is selected), 3D StudioMAX displays the Select Spotlight dialog for you to select the spotlight you want.

• Right-click the Viewport label for the viewport containing the spotlight you want. Click Views and select a spotlight.

If there are more than ten cameras or spotlights listed, the last entry in the list is "More Cameras" or "More Lights." Choose this to display the Choose a View dialog, which shows the complete list.
