ARCHICAD Light Sources: Area Light

[@alternaive214]

For those who ask how to change direction of light sources - Just go to the 3d window, then hold right button (not click) on the arrow of your light source (it's down the model by default) and make sure that manipulation mode is on the icon with four arrows, after that you can drag arrow of your light source into any direction.

In 2023, the same problem still exists

Is it me or is the reflection in the mirror wrong.......if reflected it should be closer to the mirrored wall. Our am I missing something....

[@pauljefferies7122]

It would be great if you could show us how to get the line lights in the plan. At the moment the video is not very useful as it just shows the effect after you've already done whatever mysterious steps are necessary to get the line lights there and horizontal rather than vertical!

Hi! Does anyone knows how to make the light in horizontal bcs when I activate the light it appears in vertical??...

[@martacerkownik5649]

did we found out yet? I'm searching for the same thing!

[@thebigt3771]

Think it is the view, I think the light is further away from the mirror than it looks. My mistake me thinks
