Best way to model toplighting through plenum zone?

edit

ok, so the best i came up with is:

1) use sketchup to place skylights of type TubularDaylightDome in the roof and "skylights" of type TubularDaylightDiffuser int eh zone to be daylighted.

2) create and assign all necessary constructions within OS (or how ever you prefer). Here are the materials and constructions from the TDD example idf file (i did not verify these properties):

Construction,
TDD Pipe,                !- Name
Very High Reflectivity Surface;  !- Outside Layer

Diffusing Acrylic Plastic;  !- Outside Layer

3) use this measure to assign daylighting control objects

4) create an idf snippet with all the necessary pipe objects defined and use this measure to insert the idf text in to the output idf. Pipe definitions should be like:

TDD_Pipe_61,                   !- Name
