Hi all, i'm having an error when using a ies file from the lithonia pack uploaded time ago...

"SceneLoaderExcep: Iesdataexcep; Iesdatumexcep: error parsing num_lamps"

How can i solve this?

Is this with all the IES files or is it just one particular file giving the error?

i just can answer for the profiles i deliver with blendigo. And AFAIK all of them work fine.

no, just one. I don't know if this will happen with other lamps...
It's the file called LTL15718.IES... it's an indirect area lighting lamp mounted on pole.

I tried this expecting the 90 degrees error, but another has come.

I have a photometric file from a vendor that produce indirect road lighting lamps, and i used it in dialux, but have to simulate in Indigo.

This gives me the 90 degrees error.

The mirror in the top of the pole it's too complex to reproduce in 3d because of the mini complex structure.

I assume there is an error thrown on a number of lamps because Indigo won't support IES describing more than one luminaire...

About "over-90°" lamps... since IES are well tabulated data, maybe you could try splitting one in two files and represent it back in Indigo using two IES geometries with opposite directions, with a small distance between them (0.2 mm is safe).
