I think you can set that in the area properties. (Night only?)

On the server UD areas are Interior and Underground. Flagged as both. Even if they are exteriors in terms of the toolset.

1) Turn off directional Light in the area properties tab.
2) Export the day/night properties from Shamath (use Export under the properties tab).
3) Import the day/night properties into your area. (You have now copied the light settings from Sshamath)
4) Set the day stage in the toolset menu to night and see how it looks. Normally it is set to default which I think is day?

I can't build in the dark myself.
So normally during work I turn directional light back on, and set the default light setting for the area to be bright so I can see.

But then when you load the area IG, since it's set to night only, it will use those light settings.
Just remember to flip directional light back off.
