Help: Can't find the lights in Archinteriors Vol. 2

[TheGrandmaster1]

So I saw on the front page of this site something called Archinteriors Vol. 4. I cliked on it, and was astounded that they had CDs you could get with fully lit and rendered scenes to study from. This is exactly what I wanted. So I went straight to my boss and went Apeshit because I was so exited, and had him get me Vol 2. since it looked the coolest.

 

Now I am crushed. I am going through the files, and I cannot look at the lights, or the settings for the lights, or where they placed them to study how they did it. That was the entire point of getting this. :( In Summery Info, they always register as "Hidden" even though I click "Unhide All" in the right click display quad, nothing happens. Have they completley locked these lights or something? Is there a way to see them, and unhide them? Help?

First I'd check the display panel, the hide by geometry tab, to see if lights are checked as hidden. This setting overrides all other hide and unhide commands. If this is checked, even if you unhide all, your lights will still not become visable and your lights will still register as hidden in the summary info.

Thank you. You have completley fixed my problem.

 

That was it. Display Panel >> Hide By Catagory >> Lights.
