Templates rollout
The Templates rollout lets you choose from among a variety of preset light
types. In general, when you create lights for a new scene (as opposed to using
an existing 3ds Max scene), we recommend that you do one of the following:
■ Choose a light from the template list.
■ Download a light description from a lighting manufacturer’s Web site. See
Web Distribution (Photometric Lights) on page 5028.
■ Use the lights provided with the model that was created in AutoCAD,
Revit, or another application that provides photometric lights.
Interface

want to use. 3ds Max offers these selections:
