Select the command.

To adjust the properties of a conventional fixture from the Software Console palette:

1.      Select a conventional fixture from the Scene Graph palette.

When selected, the fixture automatically outputs light in the Scene window.

2.      In the Software Console palette, adjust the sliders, or enter a value, to change the parameter settings. The available parameters depend on the type of conventional fixture selected.

The Scene window displays the result of the adjustment in real time.
