Another way to adjust a spotlight is to use a Light viewport on page 5090.
To change a viewport to a Light view:
1 Right-click a viewport label.
The viewport right-click menu is displayed.
2 Choose Views.
The name of each spotlight or directional light is displayed in the Views
list.
3 Choose the name of the light you want.
The viewport now shows the light's point of view. You can use the
Light
viewport
on page 7614 to adjust the light.
The default keyboard shortcut for switching to a Light viewport is $.
Interface
When you rename a target spotlight, the target is automatically renamed to
match. For example, renaming Light01 to Klieg causes Light01.Target to become
Klieg.Target. The target's name must have the extension .Target. Renaming the
target object does not rename the light object.
