Dear Kevin, the fluorescent lights in the subway stations cast light downward. The lights in TUBELITE.3DS file cast light upward. The lights in my model of subway station are about 200 feet long. I would have to create several spotlights along the lights but that would make the scene too bright unless I turn down the luminance of the spotlights. I don't know if I should put the spotlights above or below the lights and cast shadows correctly. I uploaded "SUBWAY.ZIP" file in the Autodesk Showcase vehicle library. Please download the file, unzip it, and look at the image. Thank you very much for telling me that "Inside AutoCAD R13 for Windows" book is shipping but I am NOT waiting for "Inside AutoCAD R13 for DOS" book. I prefer DOS version to Windows version. Jeffrey.
