Inserting Exterior Lighting

Inserting exterior light posts and ground lighting is easy — just point and click.

To insert an exterior light fixture:

1. Select Insert > Landscape > Exterior Lighting, or click the Exterior Lighting button on the Landscape toolbar. Then, select either Exterior Lighting on Terrain or Exterior Lighting on Location, depending on where you want to insert the element. The Exterior Lighting on Location option lets you insert the element on a deck, or on anything that is associated with a building location.

2. In the catalog, select the light you want to insert.

3. Position the light where you want it, then click to insert it.

4. Right-click and select Finish.

Tip: If you switch to Rendered or Rendered Outline display mode, you can see instant lighting effects as you position and insert light fixtures.
