I like to use multiple light objects for renders, rather than use just spotlight symbols - as I dont need to create focus points (which can get very tedious). For some reason, VW doesnt like me duplicating a light object after I set this with all the required attributes (colour, type, beam angle , etc) - then editing all light objects together in the Visualise palette.
I can successfully duplicate the light object in the design layer:
but when I try to select multiple light objects in the Visualiser palette and edit an attribute for all - the names of all duplicated light objects disappear and the objects can no longer be edited.
Even better, when a viewport is created from the design layer, most of the duplicated light objects inherit some very odd names:
After this happens, I can still only edit the original light object - "Light 1" in this case.
It seems to me that this workflow is perfectly logical - would love to know if Im doing something wrong.
