      I have scoured the internet for any help on this, but I seem to be the only one having this problem!
      No lights show up in my scene. I have added every type of light, omni, spot, rectangular, vray sphere, etc and none of them actually produce any light.
      I thought it might have been my particular scene settings but I downloaded the VRay for SU Manual Scenes from http://vray.com/vray_for_sketchup/manual/index.shtml and even after following the manual literally step by (painful) step, no lights rendered.
      What am I doing wrong?
      Are there some settings I'm not aware of?
      I've attached a scene with numerous rectangular lights, as you can see the only light source is the Global Illumination.
      Also, what the heck is going on with that water...?
      I need to submit a very important assignment in the next few days so any help would be greatly appreciated.
      Thanks.

        hi,
        are you sure, absolutely sure, that lights are enabled in the global switches?

        Also, check intensity, color, if they are on a hidden layer, if the orientation of faces is right.

        Hope it's useful πŸ˜„
