    Hi everybody,

    I use a mirror ball from Generic folder but when I go in Design tab I don't find the way to see the beams on my shaded view.

    Can you help me ?

    All you have to do is turn it on. (Mirror balls in WYSIWYG operate like fixtures... at this time, it is not possible to bounce a beam off them, as we do in real life. In fact, it is not possible to bound a beam off any mirror surface.)


    Cheers,

    Thank you, it's working now.
    Just for info I'm still on R44 and when you group several mirror balls, you can't turn it on. You have to select one by one or with CTRL + clic

    This is because your group contains a hang structure which cannot be turned on obviously. If you create a fixture group with just the mirror balls it should be possible. Select them all and hit CTRL+J.
