The Tools panel consists of a number of features to help you aim, visualize and manage your lights. Aiming uses the negative Z-axis for lamps, and positive Z-axis for other objects:
| Button | Function |
|---|---|
| Selected at 3D cursor | Rotate all selected objects so that they are pointing at the 3D cursor. |
| Selected at active | Rotate all selected objects (except the active object) to point at the active object. |
| Active at selected | Rotate the active object to aim at the average location of all the other selected objects. |
| Active with 3D View | Aim the active object using the 3D View camera. Press Enter/Space or Left Click to confirm. Right Click or press Escape to cancel and restore the previous orientation. |
Draw a circle around lamps in the 3D View using the lamps size as the circle radius.
| Button | Function |
|---|---|
| Refresh | Some changes (such as deleting nodes) might not be detected automatically, this button forces the radius to be updated. |
| Alpha | The opacity of the drawn circle. |
| Draw Type | How the circle should look. See this reference for examples. |
| Use Color | Use the lamps color for the color of the circle. Otherwise use the Default Color. Supported nodes: wavelength, blackbody. |
| X-Ray | Draw the circle in front of all other objects. |
| Selected Only | Only show the radius for selected objects. |
| Default Color | If Use Color is disabled, or an unsupported node is connected, this color is used. |
Show the names of lights in the 3D View.
| Button | Function |
|---|---|
| Refresh | Some changes (such as deleting nodes) might not be detected automatically, this button forces the label to be updated. |
| Alpha | The opacity of the drawn label. |
| Font Size | How large the text is. |
| Draw Type | Controls whether the text or the background is colored, or whether there is a background at all. See this reference for examples. |
| Use Color | Use the lamps color for the color of the label. Supported nodes: wavelength, blackbody. |
| Text Color / Background Color | One or both of these are displayed depending on the Draw Type and whether Use Color is enabled. |
| Alignment | Choose the position of the label relative to the position of the light. See this reference for examples. |
| Margin | The distance between the label and the light. |

- be shown in the light list.

- display a label.
| Button | Function |
|---|---|
| Add | Add all selected objects to the blacklist. |
