All axes are on, and coord system is world. 6154 Wanting to rotate spotlight. Can rotate freely using widget but why not with "rotate" mode? Same goes for other objects too. Which brings to mind... how quick it would be with point and click (or point and click-drag) to set direction for spotlight. see illustration: 6155 Post by Leif // May 18, 2007, 6:24am Leif Total Posts: 276 I find also that the "look from object" camera function is not (yet?) in workspace, so that method can not be used to set spotlights.

This has the added benefit that the dummy object could then be keyframed and moved around to animate the spotlight movement. -Jack.
