Re: Grouping and exporting mini spots
I managed to achieve what I wanted: a group of mini spots integrated into self created new furniture and all spots set with with a single light intensity value. It was even simpler than I imagined! Thank you Daniels118 for pointing me to the properties setting to add.

But... now I want more laughing
I'm almost sure this is (currently?) impossible so it's probably something I will have to add to my ever growing long list of wishes.

For the same furniture I want to integrate a second group of lights. Since the resulting furniture is a single object I can only add one line
lightSourceMaterialName#5=spot

I tried adding a second group with a different light material and adding a second line for the second material property in the furniture library properties file. The result was both groups didn't work. Of course I expected that since I didn't think setting two light material values would work. I would have been very pleasantly surprised if two light power values had appeared in the furniture properties window.

Emmanuel, would it be possible to move the light power setting to the Modify materials window? Just like Color and Shininess. That would make it possible to have multiple light sources with each their own power setting in a single piece of furniture.
