Lights object casting a shadow

Corona Corona for 3ds Max Issues
1

Hi there. 1.0 is sweet, except for one thing, I cant turn off the shadows cast by the light object, I used to right click the light and a tick box ‘shadows’ used to be in the popup menu. That has seem to be replaced with a window icon, that opens up light lister. The shadows checkbox seems to be there, but when you uncheck it and close it, it doesnt work if you reopen light lister its still checked.
Any ideas?

Just untick “occlude other lights” in CoronaLight’s modify panel and you’re done. No need to touch light’s object properties.

3ds Max standard lights support this other option (illuminate scene with light with no shadows). And they do not cast shadows themselves because they do not have any geometry associated

note: I am not sure if OP didn’t mean ability to disable shadow casting of a light (the basic “cast shadows” toggle). This is impossible using Corona lights, but possible using native Max lights. Then it is impossible to see light shape, though.
