Slowly making progress...
Hi everyone,
I posted this earlier in another thread, working with Smart Folders, but was afraid it might have gotten lost. I am re-posting from home hoping to have a response when I get to the office tomorrow. Thanks so much in advance.

I have been playing around with importing a SketchUp model into a smart folder and keeping the scenes that were created as I modeled. This is working well. I have noticed that I need to adjust the field of view but I think I am getting the hang of it.
One thing that I am having difficulty with is lighting. I can select a light, pick what type of light etc. I try to work simultaneously in plan and elevation to position the light where I think I want it but I am not sure what to use when and why.
Could someone please steer me in the right direction? I have looked in the gallery at some very impressive images. I would like to actually open up a model and note light positions and types and what results are possible with various configurations. I imagine a lot is by trial and error. I would just like a good example to use as a foundation to build on.
Thanks,
Tim
