Block Management Tools Need Improvements

Thought I would add in my voice to the angry mob as politely as possible too
Adding Light functionality to this sad list of block improvements:

Light objects in blocks

Thanks Andy for the clarification and the bug log. To Micha - the results are weird - sky is white, hidden places that never are exposed to light show up while others, that should be visible stay dark. Also, I found out that emitters only work with indirect Illumination, not with occlusion. As the project still will continue for some years, I hope Rhino 6 will be out with a new lighting approach best greetings and thanks Mischa

V-Ray Next Lights in Nested Blocks

Hi, is it possible to have eg a “Mesh Light” in a file where I save a model of a tubular light source, that I then insert into a “photostudio” 3DM as nested blocks? All the regular V-Ray Next materials import correctly, but lights do not. Perhaps this isn’t supported yet? Thanks for any cues, Duncan

Inserting a Block but losing my lights

Hi guys, So I’m trying to insert a light fixture which will be repeated multiple times but I can’t get the lights to insert with the block. They just disappear! This is driving me mad! Please help! I am using Rhino 5.0 with V-Ray Thanks in advance Troy

Including a Light in a Block Definition

I’ve added this as a bug: https://mcneel.myjetbrains.com/youtrack/issue/RH-48093 I don’t know what will come of it but it doesn’t hurt to ask, eh? https://www.rhino3d.com/searchresults?q="lights+in+blocks"

Better block ! Better blocks ! Better blocks !
