3. How to select lights in a group in a scene？

In the scene, clicking on a light selects, by default, the group in which the light is located.

• Double-clicking on a light's icon with the mouse can select the individual light.

• If there are multiple layers in the group, click to select the highest layer by default, while double-clicking will select a single model/element.

4. How to quickly adjust the light orientation?

Added extension lines and control points to make it easier to adjust the light orientation.

• When the target point is moved, the light source direction will follow the mouse dragging direction based on the screen view space, and if any mesh surface is reached by the mouse ray, it will be attached. When the target point is moved, the location and rotation parameters in the right sidebar will change accordingly.

• When multiple lights are selected, only the target orientation point of the last selected light will be displayed, in which case all the selected lights will change when moving the target orientation point.
