Adding lights to my house
Please I have adding lights to my house but don't know how to put it on cause by default it's off I guess.
Maybe that is why I can't see the effects of lights in my house every where seems to have the same intensity of natural light. Not from the bulbs I added.
Can someone please explain to me how to put lights ON or tell me what am I not doing right?

Re: Adding lights to my house
There are two types o f lamps in SH3D: - lamps with light - lamps without light. When a lamp has light, do Modify furniture and at the bottom left you see a Light power (%). There is a way to add light to a lamp, described by user OKH. You can read about it in this short manual (PDF).

Re: Adding lights to my house
In addition to what hansmex correctly writes, you may want to consider: - The easiest way of adding lights, is to use the included light-sources in the library and place them where the lamp is. - Lights have a default power of 50%. - Lights will only show in photo-rendering (highest qualities). - Lights are not very visible if they compete with sunlight, try a time later in the evening. - The "auto ceiling lights" checkbox may interfere with the effect of accurately placed light-sources. - Pay attention to the colour of the light-source you choose.

Depends what you want to do, the easiest is to combine your models with the light-sources included in SH3D. That is easy, and you can group lamp and light-source.
Adding light-sources to your own models in a library requires some more work, but you will find several threads in the forum discussing this, like this recent one.
