Rolling a light

Although Roll does change the light view, it affects the light object only if the light casts a rectangular beam or is a projector.

Drag the mouse horizontally to roll a target light or rotate a free light about its local Z axis.

This button replaces the Zoom Extents button when a light viewport is active.

1. Activate a Light viewport.
