[Radiance-general] Sketchup exporter script

[steve michel]

Thanks again for the export script. The following was in Fransceco's wiki as a future feature (no pun intended) 
<<replacement of component instances with pre-canned Radiance files>>
 
I hope this will enable the script's ability to handle artificial lighting. I have some ies fixtures i've used in some radiance renders I want to use in the Sketchup to radiance generated files. So far I've only the following method:
1 step converted ies to rad files
2 Use mkillum for a wrapper for fixture geometry
3 'update' the script generated files to search/replace a named scene 'place holder' with items 1 and 2.
 
Does this approach make sense? If there is a more straight forward way, please let me know.
