Tilted track light
Hi everybody. My 1st post. I am very impressed with the Sweet Home package.
Now I am modeling a garret (or attic, not sure what's the correct word in english, I mean a room right under the roof, with sloping ceiling). I successfully drew sloping walls, etc.. Now I want to add some lights. I need to place a track light on the sloping ceiling, oriented in such way that it is as tilted as the ceiling. A base model like the "Track lights" included in the downloaded Portable version 4.5 is fine, but it is not tilted. So I placed the base "Track lights" furniture, exported to OBJ, imported back, tilted at the 2nd step of the import wizard, placed. The result looks fine, but now it is a piece of furniture, not a light source. When I create a photo, no light is sourced. See example . You can see that the light bar is projecting its own shadow, not sourcing light.

Re: Tilted track light
Thanks for your suggestions. I tried Furniture Library Editor, but found that light properties are not-as-easy-as-expected to add. Must be entered manually, need coordinates for each spotlight, maybe even opening angle, etc.
I am trying now with individual lamp bulbs added in front of the track spotlights.
