      I've noticed the Lighting Tool is nowhere to be found in a menu in 2023.1 and the only way I can access it is through Shift+C quick search. If I customize my palettes and try to add it, it just disappears. Also noticed it doesn't work with RS lights, and the only documentation I can find is in "Classic Resource Overview". I used this tool quite a bit when doing product renderings. I'd hate to see it go! 😞

        Hi Dark Matter,

        Please make your wish to Maxon.
        https://www.maxon.net/en/support-center
        Use the "Share Your Ideas".
        Please include why that is important for you.

        If you check with the Standard Render Settings, you will find the Lighting Tool in the Tools Menu.

        Lights and Cameras from Redshift 3D need more attention to enjoy workflows that have found their way into your muscle memory, no question. I certainly support this!

        All the best

          Ah ha, that explains why I DO see it when I'm using Octane on occasion. Thought is was me being crazy. lol

          Thanks for the response as always!
