I am trying to set a spot light up so it shine only on a few faces but every time I get it close to where I think it should be, I click the mouse and move the scene the light move too. How do I get it to stay in place so I can mover around the scene to make sure it in place.:confused:

Use the navigation widget (bottom right of screen) to move around. To be sure you don't move the light by accident (if you miss the widget when clicking), simply select a different object before moving the eye.


You could also select the eye move tools which will disable moving any objects.


HTH!

I like to use the Background Widget.
With an Object selected you can double click with the Middle Mouse Button and that selected Object will be centered in your view. Now use your Middle Mouse Button and Drag.

Thanks for the info after that it did not work out the way I was hoping. I think I will have to use bricks to get what I am looking for. Again thanks
