Design Table
The column header in a design table for controlling lights uses this syntax:
$STATE@lighting_name
For example, to control the suppression state of a directional light, the column heading syntax is $STATE@Directional1.
The column header is not
case-sensitive.
In the table body cells, type S for
suppressed or U for unsuppressed. If a cell
is
blank,
the default is Unsuppressed.
