Light View Widget and Camera for UU

[trueBlue]

Much better!
I fixed the ViewMove shape, it was off center.
I removed all of the gesture items and disconnected the Distance attribute from the Highliter solid node in the Move node, which I renamed to LightObject.
The only thing I see is, the Dot moves when you shrink the 3D View vertically.
Not a big deal.

'Red dot to switch to a perspective view and exit out of spotlight view mode'
I don't understand the red dot. Handy to be able to able to return to the Spot view but the 2 perspective views are so distorted. Surely just 1 default perspective view is more convenient?

Not having much luck after disconnecting the attributes.
Where are you entering the values?

I also added a Cancel
Shift LClick - Close Widget

How is this different from RClick on the red dot?

Does not remove the attached Camera

Ahhh, so what's purpose of the alternative views with Lclick on red dot?
Edit: Attached camera So can the attached camera views - Lclick on red dot - be made more like the Rclick view?

LClick will switch the view between the spotlights in the scene. The fov will match the light so some will look distorted.
RClick on red dot will change the spotlight back to normal and exit the light view. So it's similar to being in camera view and then pressing the perspective view button.
MClick on red changes the spotlight back to normal, exits the light view and keeps the position close to the light.

OK, i hadn't realised that all spots were now view widget enabled. I had been loading your Spot object and considering it unique, me daft!
Thanks.

Actually, it is unique. It has the button that starts the process, the "Scene View" button. The older spots don't have that button.

'the "Scene View" button'
By this you mean the 'Spotlight View' button?
