Saving light settings as defaults

You can create a default light type so that every time you add a light to a scene, it has the same values, such as cone angle or color, and so on.

To create the current light settings as a default:

1. Select the light in the Scene browser of the Viewer window.

   Set up the light so that it has the settings you want all future lights to use as a default.

2. Click Save as Default in the Light Settings.

   This retains your current custom light values as a new default setting so that any new light have these values as a preset.
