NOTES FOR 3DS MAX 5

Luminaire class instances were not creatable in 3ds Max 5,they were only creatable in Autodesk VIZ. Luminaire class instances saved in Autodesk VIZ would load and function properly in 3ds Max 5 though.

It was possible to "unhide" the Luminaire Helper object in 3ds Max 5 by creating a scripted Luminaire object that extends the hidden one, and declaring the scripted one as "visible": 

 
plugin helper MyLuminaire
name:"MyLuminaire"
category:"Assembly Heads"
classID:#(0x7463471e, 0x35cb7b96)
extends:Luminaire
invisible:false
replaceUI:false
version:1
