Open a view that shows the area you want to light. 

Type 'CM' to place a component into your project.

If 'Studio Light' is not present from your options drop down, click load.

Navigate to the 'Lighting Fixtures' folder in your Imperial Library and select 'Studio Light.rfa'.  Click open.

Place the Studio Light where you want it.  If you're in a floor plan view, you will not be able to see the light until you switch to a 3D view or a ceiling view.  You can place the light via parameters or by dragging it around some in 3D view.  You can change the intensity in either the light settings or by changing the Lumens parameter in the Studio Light Parameters.

I've included Studio Light just on the off chance that it isn't in your imperial library.  Please be sure you put it in the right place.

thanks rkitect that's what i was looking for..

i'll probly give up on rendering as soon as

i start it for the 50th time because i'm not

an artist and don't want to be one.. lol

i've been trying to use artists that have

the talent to shade in the lines- but finding

them is not easy either.. i'm also learning

"autodesk impression"- but so far the colors

i'm putting on my hidden line drawings look

like a five year olds' coloring book.. lol

I use Impression and am loving it.  I've see some pretty good looking renderings come from impression.  You can check out the new impression community here: http://impression.autodesk.com/

Rendering is definitely an art form to get it looking better than average.  The hardest part is the patience to let that large scene render overnight if needed.  You really have to crank the settings to get a good rendering from AccuRenderer.

Best of luck and we look forward to seeing some of your renders!

yes i'm very interested in Impression.. even though it's not yet 3d aware..

i am registered at the Impression community..

Accurender settings don't matter if you are an artist..

as for renering large to get a sharper image- again if you are an artist

it don't matter how sharp it is..  also when i upgraded to a Duo Core processor

those large renderings went much faster.. but i've never cared much for

rendering in the first place.. although i know it has its place in promotional

advertising- i'm just a design drafter..
