How to disable/enable lights in one click? (Sketchup)

good day.. newbie here.. been searching on the net but i can't find the answer...

i wonder if there is a vray option that can enable/disable MAN-MADE lights in one click? so that i can render night & day scene easily by not going to each lights and disable them..

TIA

There is a checkbox that says enable. Unchecking it will turn off the light.

thanks for the quick reply sir bokkins..

yes sir there is.. ex. click 1 omni light then disable it..

but my question, what if you have 100 pcs of lights inside your building, i want to turn them off/on for night/day rendering, is there? thanks

copy as instance. Once kasi instance yan, anything na gawin mo sa isa, ginagawa mo sa lahat.

uy uy uy!!! ano yan.. di ko ata yan alam.. hehehehe.. panu po sir?

Hindi ko kabisado sa sketchup, tanong natin kay nomer.

found a light manager in the net. although di pa sya final.. meron sya dailog box w/c displays all the lights drawn na with some option of enable/disable. pero may mga bugs pa ata

for sketchup ba to or other software please specify

edosayla: sorry sketchup. i post this thread on sketchup area kc.. nilipat lang kaya di ko na nalagay..

jarul: vraylumen 1.0 installed it on plugins as ruby script but didn't work at all

You posted on the wrong section kaya nilipat. Pang-tutorial lang dun, hindi naman ito tutorial.

its ok sir bokkins.. no harm.. thanks din for putting on the right place..

Ito na yun bro. Thanks!

1. group or layer the lights
2. uncheck render hidden lights on systems rollout
3. hide
pero 2 clicks siya,,, 1-select 2-hide

wow.. that really helps.. thanks mga sirs

managing sketchup scene ay isa sa mga nakitang kong masrap gawin sa sketchup pero marami ang hinid gumagamit nito. so para sa akin gamitin mo yung usage ng layer sa sketchup (Window- layer or Shift+L). create a new layer say pangalan ay LIGHT. pwede mong ilagay sa layer na to ang mga lights mo.

paano ba ilalagay?

first option.

1. Before creating your light make the new layer. yung naka check yan ang layer na nakaon. so anything na gawion mo sa sketchup they will belong to this particular layer. kapag natapos ka sa light, pwede mo ng i tick (check) yung Layer na ginamit mo dati. BTW you can make as many layers a possible. para bang autocad.

2. kung nakalimutan mo or meron ka ng scene pwede mo paring ilagay sa light layer mo ang mga lights mo by using Entity Info. Click mo yung mga lights mo and then duon sa layer mayroong arrow. use that arrow and click the particular layer kung saan mo gustong itransfer ang mga to.

3. Ngayon pwede patay sindi ka lang nga layer nato using LAYER or Outliner. Pero one thing that you must know na kapag yung mga LAYER or POUtliner ay naka on. gumgamit din sila ng maraming RAM.


With that, I have devised an easy workaround. At ito ang ginagamit ko madalas. Use the animation Scenes. Create one scene na naduon ang mga lights, then another scene wala ang mga lights. so transfer ka lang from one scene to another scene.

Hope these will help you.





mas maigi bago ka magcreate ng light

wow.. super duper helpful!!! thanks sir!
