Include/exclude with layers for lights

[m_hinks]

Hi guys. I would have put a lot of money on the fact that I had asked for this years ago, but I cant find the post!! But anyway, here is the request again.

Can the include/exclude selection for VrayLights use layer selections as well as selecting geo in the scene? A lot of our render/assembly scenes xref geo files together, and often share lighting setups also coming in from Xref scenes. But currently we have to merge the lights with the geo so we can apply the selections as needed, breaking the workflow. I hope this is a simple request, I did just check in Vray 7 that its still not possible.

Thanks!

Done! Thanks.

Theoretically, this is something that Autodesk should allow in 3ds Max, and V-Ray should only use the functionality. I would recommend that you address this wish to Autodesk as well.
