Patrick Fritsch Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 (edited) I know about the fluorescent light tube symbols and linear/area light creation BUT does anyone know if there exists a complete symbols that would include recessed housing geometry and various lenses. As this will affect the distribution accuracy of the fluorescent light tube symbol's. Pretty basic commercial light fixture but I can't seem to find any manufacturer VW symbols. Anybody?

michaelk Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I don't know of any that are ready to use out of the box. I usually create a symbol that contains the 3d geometry of the fixture and then use a custom light object with the ies data from the manufacturer. The fidelity of the light distribution is going to depend on the quality of the ies file. mk Quote Link to comment
