[Radiance-general] -ae with alias modifiers?

[Lars O. Grobe]

Hi!

Can I use -ae of rpict with an alias modifier? I have two layers of 
modifiers here, one by object type, one by material. So e.g. I have a 
bunch of objects that get modified by "marble_edgings", and later, I 
use "void alias marble_edgings marble_grey_1" to assign these objects 
their actual material. Now I want to exclude them from the ambient 
calculation (as you can see by the name, these edgings are not really 
important, they are small-surface objects). Can I use -ae 
marble_edgings, which is the alias, or do I have to use -ae 
marble_grey_1, which is the (plastic) modifier?

TIA+CU, Lars.

(Yes, I tried with rvu, but didn't notice a big difference, that's why 
I have to ask now ;-)
