Include light source in a furniture or group light source and item
Hello,

I'd like to include light source in some of my furnitures.
For example I created a lamp but when I add it in my room and create a photo it does not make any light. So I added a light source inside and it's ok.

But know when I want to move my lamp I have to select the lamp + the light source.
It's not very complicated but as I have a lot of lamps and I move everything all the time, it's a bit anoying.

I'd like to group the lamp and the source into a single object.

I tried the "group" command but it does not work. I managed to do it with simple objects but it looks like it does not work with light sources.

Other solution would be to edit my .obj object but I'm not sure adding a light source in an object is as simple as adding a color or a mirror.

I found a lot of usefull information in the forum and in the documentation about lights but I didn't manage to solve this problem.
