[Radiance-general] Ecotect Export Lighting Fixture Color

[Thomas Bleicher]

Depending on the version of Ecotect (5.5 works, 5.6 doesn't) you can
try and place a file in your material repository folder. Ecotect can
then look for each material for a file with the same name in this
folder and will use the contents of the file instead of converting the
material properties - which is does pretty badly anyway.

So find your material repository, create a file called
"FloodlightNoShielding.rad" and add a working light description to
this file. Then export again with the right option - I forgot the name
but it's pretty obvious.

If that works and changes your light definition in Radiance we can
then talk about what should go into this file. If it doesn't work you
can also export the lights as markers and replace the markers with the
proper Radiance description after the export.

Thomas
