Hi Karen,

Thomas Bleicher had written an exporter (Sketchup to Radiance). You can download it from this location:

Hi All,

I'm learning to use Daysim. I currently have Autocad 2007 and the free version of Google Sketchup on my computer. I'd like to be able to use Sketchup to create the 3D geometry for importing into Daysim, but I can't export to 3ds. Autocad 2007 doesn't export either.

I tried downloading the 3DsExport for Sketchup plugin, but it doesn't seem to handle the materials files well enough for an import to Daysim.

I'd appreciate if anyone can let me know their methods for using some combination of this software.

Thanks,

The latest version of Thomas' script exports a full Daysim project and
allows you to re-import the simulation results (Daylight Autonomy etc.)
back into SketchUp via a falsecolor plot. Very slick.
