Hello, I am new to Sketchup, alongside with Enscape and V-Ray, I had done some lightning stuff in V-Ray, and was wondering if I can move it over to enscape, because I can’t seem to find the lightning that I did with V-ray, on enscape, are those 2 different lightnings?

There only seems to have the Emissive, but not rectangle lights.

Welcome to SketchUp, Enscape, and V-Ray!

Enscape and V-Ray use different rendering engines, so lighting setups created in V-Ray, such as rectangle or sphere lights, won’t appear in Enscape.

To set up lighting for Enscape, [you’ll need to use Enscape’s own light sources](https://docs.chaos.com/display/ESKETCHUP/Lighting), which include rectangular, spot, sphere, and line lights. These are separate from V-Ray’s lights and need to be placed manually within SketchUp using the [Enscape Objects option in the Enscape toolba](https://docs.chaos.com/download/attachments/204505318/Enscape_Toolbar_Windows.png?version=1&modificationDate=1741937695914&api=v2)r.
