Please improve a little bit the export to mxs of archicad lamps ...
1. allow the user to give them a name (i.e. myLamp)
2. allow the user to assign from archicad the maxwell material (emitter definition in this case)
3. allow the user to move/rotate the lamps in archicad and get the right orientation in Maxwell Studio

Please, improve the plug-in!

The plug in doesn't need to handle any of this. You can model l,amps, use lamps with Emitter materials and you can rotate the lamps or emitter polygons in ArchICAD before you render. You can also name your emitters, just make an archicad emitter material and name it. That name will come up in Multilight sliders. If you check the Group emitters option in the render prefs, you can link a set of archicad lights to an individual material (Living Room lights, for example)

That being said, the plug in does need some polishing, but the developer has been absent as of late. Hopefully he will return with some new features. It would be great to implement the Fire system into an ArchiCAD 3d window like the OPENGL viewer does.
