help please…I am trying to add lights to an elevation and then render but it’s not working and I have no clue what I am doing and what the settings should be etc 
There is not enough information to help you. Show a screenshot of your model or post the model. And describe in more detail what you’re trying to do. What’s not working exactly? The lights? It’s too hard to tell what’s going on in your image. Are you using section planes? Is this a new problem or has this happened before?
