Need help with landscape lighting

Hi

Home Designer Pro 2017.

 

I have added in sunlight info and my specific lat and long.  I am trying to add lighting touches including landscape lighting.  I have placed a spotlight in front of an address pillar.  No matter what I do the light will not illuminate.  I have attached images from my Video card info, the spotlight info, and two 3D renderings of the address pillar at different times of the day (shadows on).  I have looked at the light from an angle where there are no other lights in the field (so only one light should be in play) in case the video card can't handle it, and nothing...  I'd light to add spotlights to trees as well, and I get the same problem.  Any ideas?

Thanks

So changed sunlight to generic, and then toggled off.  I switched location of spotlight to give a camera view where no other lights are in the picture.  Nothing...I had the spolight close to pillar, and then a little bit back thinking the angle may be involved.  Nothing...58e26dfd0f4fe_addressnosun2.thumb.PNG.50749e5c62d4a01f552b7ffbdf34b9ba.PNG58e26e003ceda_addressnosun.thumb.PNG.6b551dffb6ddad4f09dbeb1d3b0ebd41.PNG

So I am a dork.  I have 124 lights in the plan and all are checked.  I thought the camera view determined what lights would be on.  But I have learned tha tyou have to toggle the lights on and off in certain scenes... so I deselected all and only selected the address spotlight and it worked...sorry but thanks for your help!
