mlim Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 Is there a way to create new light sources from IES files? I would like to import about 50 IES files and automatically create the corresponding light sources. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Dave Donley Posted April 2, 2023 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted April 2, 2023 Hello @mlim Look to the Light Tool in the Visualization palette and the Custom light tool mode. This uses IES files. https://app-help.vectorworks.net/2023/eng/VW2023_Guide/Rendering2/Adding light_sources.htm?rhsearch=ies&rhhlterm=ies 1 Quote Link to comment
mlim Posted April 2, 2023 Author Share Posted April 2, 2023 Thank you very much, I am familiar with the basic procedure. Now I would like to read in about 50 files. However, this makes the process a bit tedious. That's why I would like to automate it. However, I lack experience in this area... 2 Quote Link to comment
JBenghiat Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 The rotation parameter isn't available as well. A feature request is on the books for that. Ideally, every parameter for a light would have object variable access. 2 Quote Link to comment
