Hey guys, 

I'm trying to test the use of bottles in a roof, as a daylighting method.

For the begging, I started simplifying the cilinder to a square subsurface and defining that as a window in the roof.

But, I'm facing many problems, for example my idea is to use water as the glazing material with a thickness about 30 cm, but I can't find the appropriated material properties for that. I'm also not sure if my model is going to give me the best answer, or it should be better trying to use the bottle as a cillinder diffuser.

Could you give any help? Do you have any better idea about how to make energy plus understand my purposes?

thanks!
