Cannot change target of DirectionalLight

[chrisdembia]

I am unable to change the target of the DirectionalLight. I can change where the light is, but I cannot change the orientation of the light: it is always oriented towards what I think is (0, 0, 0). Chrome 53

All lights are objects in the scene and can be rotated, translated.
Documentation missing :)

For the bones, I see both Position and Rotation under Object. But under DirectionalLight, I only see Position. No Rotation.

There are shortcuts to enable translation rotation and scaling of selected object (when Debug is On). You can expose these using W, E, R respectively. While I was able to rotate the icon, the change didn't seem to affect shadows. I can troubleshoot further. I included that on the front page .md file but maybe it wasn't prominent. Let me know what you find out. Thanks.

Ah I see that in the README now. It is prominent; I just didn't read carefully. I think a more natural way to control the orientation of the DirectionalLight is to change the Position of its target. E.g., it could have properties "Position" and "Target Position".

I have not yet played with the W, E, R keys, so I don't know what the current behavior of rotating is. I apologize if it is as I described.
