I have a light fixture and have downloaded the manufactures IES file. When I set the light source definition to the linear type that I have and include the photometric web, the orientation of the IES file is perpindicula to the light source shape. Any thoughts on how to break the association of the photometric web to the light source shape? The only way I can get the Light Source and the IES file to appear correct is by setting the light source to point, but this renders as a point and not a linear fixture. Is there a parameter that orientates the photometric web perpindicular to the light source?
