Save luminaires as components for later use
-
Hi!
I am a lighting designer working mostly with interior projects. Usually I use Dialux, but I am looking into using Sketchup, that I have some basic knowledge of.I understand it so that by using LightUp or Vray, I will be able to download IES-files for real luminaires and place the lights into 3d-models of the luminaires in question. I also think I will be able to generate heat maps that show at least the approximate resulting lux levels in my model.
Now, I do have some favorite luminaries that I use in many projects. Is it possible to make components out of a 3d-model of a luminaire and its IES-file? To be saved and used for other projects?

Thea 4 Sketchup is very good in that. IES lights are represented as SU geometry - components which can be saved as you wish. Here is how lights work:
