The
Lights folder on the DisplayManager lists information about the lights applied to the current model.
To display this folder, on the DisplayManager click View Scene, Lights, and Cameras and expand the Lights folder.
Lighting Indicators
Lighting controls are separate for SolidWorks and PhotoView 360.
- SolidWorks
- By default, point, spot, and directional lights are on in SolidWorks.
Scene lighting is not possible in RealView, so you often need to illuminate models manually.
- PhotoView
- By default, lighting is off in PhotoView.
With lights off, you can use the realistic lighting provided by scenes, which is usually sufficient for rendering. You typically need additional lighting in PhotoView to illuminate occluded spaces in the model.
