      <p class="para_topic">The Basic Lights dialog provides easy access to eight &quot;scene&quot; lights. The eight scene lights consist of one ambient light and seven fixed direction lights: </p>

      <p class="para_topic">The eight sliders and value fields allow you to modify the intensity of each scene light. You can also modify the color of each scene light using the 'Advanced Lights' dialog. You can use as many or as few of the eight lights that you need to illuminate your part.</p>
      <p class="para_topic">The 'Reset to Default Lights' button turns on the three default lights and resets their options to default values. The 'Reset to Scene Lights' button turns on all eight scene lights and resets their options to default values. The Scene Dimmer slider increases or decreases the intensities of the lights that are turned on in the work view. It does not affect the Scene Ambient light. Use this tool to adjust the overall illumination of the part.</p>
