I've run into a problem trying to migrate from RDS to Carrara 4 (Pro). When I import a particular complex RDS scene into Carrara 4, a new distant light appears. I can see the light in the scene and I can see the resulting lighting in renders but I can't access the light any other way. I can't click on it or find it in the hierarchy. Even after I delete all the lights in the hierarchy this one remains. I tried importing some other RDS scenes and at least some smaller ones come in OK. I haven't yet tried comprehensive tests but but at least some other large scenes also come in with this ghost light. I didn't experience this with Carrara 3 on the same scene or a very similar one. My Carrara 3 has been replaced by 4 so I can't try it now, but 1.1 is still installed. I can import the same scene into 1.1 fine, save it as a CAR file and then open that in 4 without the ghost light. Has anyone else seen this? Any ideas on how to find and remove the ghost light? Thanks.
