Modeling these lights but not certain the best way to converge the “cords” to a central point.

I haven’t tried it yet, but you can try this extension.
I’ll check out the extension. In the meantime I muscled my way through the process. I’m certain there’s a more efficient way of doing it.
Hello,
I would leave just the sphere as components and draw simple lines going from the top of them to a rather close zone above and then use line to tubes by Didier Bur that you can find in the free JHS powerbar extension. You can probably find the plugin separately or an equivalent
Instead of drawing the assemblies of a sphere with a vertical rod and then trying to rotate these assemblies so that they converge to a common point can you start by drawing each sphere with its vertical rod with the upper point of the rod already at the required spot then rotate the assembly around this central point. Repeat this for each sphere.

Hmm,
position the spheres as you want them,
add a centre point to the sphere component.
define a focus point, eg a temporary line, turn on xray mode
draw a lines from the focus point to the sphere centre points
select the lines and convert them into cylinders using a plugin in bulk or manual with follow me..
You can rotate each globe individually with the native tool, after setting the axes.
or you can use ‘Replace Selected’ (in Component Panel) and change them all at once.

Ohhhhhh wow! That replace selected is quite nice. Thanks for all the suggestions from everyone.
