1. Resolved Issues

1. Build Mode:

Layers:

• Imported models are no longer replaced with some other models in a users' Project when the models were in a Layer that was hidden.  

2. Import/Export:

• Re-Importing of edges/lines for models that supported the import of edges such as SketchUp now works again.
• Models imported in the FBX format are now correctly double-sided by default.
• Using '_safemode' when importing FBX files no longer causes Lumion to crash.
• FBX models will no longer be merged when Re-Importing from New File.
• Some models in the .3ds format can now be imported correctly.
• Lumion now includes further tests to locate textures for models that might be in other folders than those usually expected.

3. Effects & Styles:

• The Global Illumination for a Spotlight is no longer rendered if the Spotlight was on a hidden Layer and there was at least one Spotlight visible in the Scene. 
  

4. Materials:

• The original Displacement Map is now used again when removing a custom Displacement Map for Lumion Library Materials that have a Displacement Map.
