Fintouch Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Hello all, I'm working on an outdoor plan and would like to add string lighting. I haven't been able to find it in any catalog, but I may have missed it somewhere. Is anyone aware of a product like this or a way of making it? Thanks, josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 There are a few examples in the core catalogue or check 3D wharehouse. https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/search/?q=string lighting v-ray lights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fintouch Posted August 5, 2021 Author Share Posted August 5, 2021 Thank you for your quick response! I created an account with 3D wharehouse and downloaded some of the lights. Is there a trick to getting CA to import them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure just make sure you download a compatible version for your version of CA and then Right click on your User Catalog in the Library and then New > 3D Symbol... and import your downloaded .skp file. Or Import > Import 3D Symbol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glennw Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 You can make your own fairly easily using a Polyline Distribution Path (for the lights) and a corresponding Molding Polyline (copied and converted PDP to a MP for the cord). This one took a minute or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fintouch Posted August 5, 2021 Author Share Posted August 5, 2021 That looks good too. I’m kinda a newbie at this so I’ll see what I can come up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
