[Bldg-sim] Daylighting Program

[Vikram Sami]

If you have 3DS max, you could export a sketchup file to it. Max now has
a daylight simulation engine similar to Daysim (in fact I think
Christoph Reinhart was involved with its development)

Mark,

DAYSIM tutorial has information on how it can utilize a SketchUp model
for daylight analysis. 

I don't think the choice of materials that can be assigned from within
SketchUp is that comprehensive yet. I haven't tried that route in a
while so unless it can already be done, I'd be interested in hearing
from Christoph, the author of DAYSIM, on when we'll be able to assign
user created materials to surfaces within SketchUp before exporting to
DAYSIM.

Are there daylighting design programs that interface with Google
SketchUp Pro?
