Viewport navigation controls

(Roll 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.

Rolling a light

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

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

Procedures
