Lights don't work when copied

[RYANFITZG]

Only the original light has light output in render. All other lights were copies of the working component yet none render any light. Is there a setting i am missing.

Thanks,

This shouldn't happen in 2.0, what version of V-Ray for SketchUp are you using?

Hey Devin,

I am using SketchUp Pro and V-Ray for Sketchup 2.0 so I am not sure what the problem is.

Thanks,

What plug in did you use?
Have you check the light before you render it?

also, what type of light are you making copies of? I just tried the point light, and had no issue.

I've actually seen this or something similar, but haven't been able to repeat it. As best I can recall, I opened a model with lights created either in a much earlier beta or 1.49. I think I was in RT and I tried to copy the lights, but the light definitions lost their vray lights properties so I couldn't edit them. I think it was spotlights. Actually, they might have still rendered but just not at the values I wanted, so it might not be exactly the same issue. I think I just restarted the model and didn't see an issue again. Wish I had more to go on but thought I'd mention it nevertheless.

I am making copies of a basic spotlight. I have rebuilt the lights multiple times, copying and not copying. Each time it only renders the first light built. I all other lights are working in multiples.

not seeing that in my test. I can copy spotlights with no issue. this happens in a fresh scene?
