Bo RIos Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 When I'm rendering, If I dont have any lights hung, everything renders in the right colors and shades. When I put the layer that I have the lights in, it automatically makes everything dark and black. Is this because I dont have the lights on? Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Tamsin Slatter Posted March 12, 2012 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted March 12, 2012 Hi Yes, as soon as you place a light source into a drawing, the default light is turned off. So, if your light sources are also turned off, all will be black. Choose Window > Palettes > Visualization to open the Visualization palette and there you can turn on your lights.
