Spotlight

Aim a directed cone of light at trees, walls, and features, then shape the beam with Horizontal and Vertical angle sliders and Edge Softness.

SpotlightSpotlight

A Spotlight is a directed light with beam controls. Choose its fixture appearance, adjust position and direction, then set the beam, brightness and color. The preview represents the model rather than a measured product photometric file.

1

Place the spotlight

Open Lights → Core Fixtures → Spotlight, then click its position. Select it to open the Light Inspector.

2

Set the fixture and location

Choose the offered Fixture Style. Under Location, set X, Y, Elevation and Reach. Use the object’s orientation controls to aim it and inspect the result in 3D.

3

Adjust the beam

Open Beam and adjust Horizontal Angle and Vertical using their numeric fields or sliders. The displayed angle is from the beam axis to its edge; the diagrams show both sides. Show Coverage Area controls the coverage display.

4

Set softness, brightness and color

Use Softness for the beam edge. Brightness uses lumens. Light Color offers Mode Rgb for a custom color or Mode Temp for color temperature. Check the scene after each adjustment rather than relying on generic beam or lumen recommendations.

5

Review and revise

Inspect the illuminated surfaces and orientation from useful viewpoints. Use Undo for recorded edits. Modeled reach and beam appearance do not establish an electrical or lighting-compliance result.
