Rolling a light

Roll Light rotates the light about its own line of sight (the light's local Z-axis).

Although Roll does change the light view, it affects the light object only if the light casts a rectangular beam or is a projector.

Drag the mouse horizontally to roll a target light or rotate a free light about its local Z-axis.

Note: This button replaces the Zoom Extents button when a light viewport is active. Procedure

To roll a light:

  1. Activate a Light viewport.

  2. Click Roll Light.

    The button turns green when it is on.

  3. Drag horizontally to roll the view.

  4. Press ESC or right-click to turn off the button.
