What is the easiest way to add a certain brand of lighting collection to the library? ie: I want to add a light fixture that is not currently available in the catalogs. 

 

Thank you.

You would need to find or model a 3d mesh of that object and then convert it to an electrical fixture class, specifiy it as a light, and generate the offsets for your light source as well as any other lighting data you may need. You'd also need to specify how it mounts and you may need to adjust the offsets of XYZ in the 3d panel of the light's dbx

Thank you for your help. That sounds like an expert level when I am still a beginner trying to walk. Have you seen a video tutorial online by chance for this scenario?
