Create Lamp or Light Fixture Spotlight component - generated at proper size and angle. Adding lamps and light fixtures will provide lighting for your Interior Scenes or Nighttime Scenes. SketchUp lamps - many SketchUp lamps are automatically used as light sources. ArielVision Lamp Wizard - the lamp wizard makes it easy to add custom lamps.

The ArielVision Lamp Wizard is launched by the create light fixture icon ( ) on the ArielVision Toolbar:

A light fixture is created as a SketchUp component, either as a lamp or as an uncovered light source. An uncovered light source can be placed inside some other geometry to make a new light fixture component, or placed directly in the drawing. You can edit a lamp already placed in the drawing by right-clicking on it and selecting Edit ArielVision Lamp.
