How to show the cone to change your spot light?

[melanied95]

Hi,

I want to move the shadow on my object and play with the spot light. I am looking for the cone that appeared when I first created the spot light. I clicked on the layer but settings appear, on Position under  the layer >Transform. I don't know where to look. 

thank you for your help,

melanie

So there are severa things that could happened. So:
a) show light properties( cone etc) just select your light on timeline:

b) you moved camera outside of light effectors - so you cant seethem, or moved light outside of camera. To see them you can use custom view

c)or you - by mistake - hide layers controls. To show hide layer controls just use Ctrl+Shift+H shortcut

great ! thanks! It is so odd because I lost the shadow on one of my objects!

and the "cast shadow" is on!

all objects must be in 3D layers and in the material options for them " cast shadow " must be switched on .

best

Hi,

Now I am having trouble hiding the black around the cone. Why is it still showing? See below.
