For a long time already I have a problem with the rhino plugin.
case in latest Rhino 5 :

1) i make an emitter material with for example power 1000.
2) Later i open the material again to edit and increase or decrease power to 10000 or 100 or whatever value.
3) I click OK.
4) preview updates: looks the same and value didn't change!

I upgraded to v3 and the newest plugin because I thought that could be the issue. But appearently not!

I strongly advise to reevaluate your current development for the rhino plugin. It is very buggy and sluggish on all sides.

Let me know how i can fix this, because I cannot change my lights in my renders this way and as you can imagine that is quite an issue.

Hi - this is a Rhino bug. You need to edit the material in the Materials Tab, not the geometry item Property tab.

Hi Frisog,
I do not want to do the defense lawyer of the rhino plugin but I use this plugin every day since march and it seems not so buggy to me. Furthermore Paul support is very fast and efficient. Some times I asked Paul for some improvements of the plugin and he made in few days (not all the supports are so careful about their customers.

bye
