Video Transcript:

  • After importing the CAD model into AGi32, settings location, orientation and sky conditions, applying materials and textures to your model, and defining and placing the luminaires as covered in the earlier videos , you are ready to generate a photometric analysis of your space by placing light meters at discrete locations.
  • Go to the Calculation tab in the Model Toolkit. Here you can enter the calculation points or the location of the light meters in several different ways. You can either specify a grid by entering the grid bounding box using 2-point or 3-point input; or you can specify points along a line or inside a polygon.
  • Once you have placed the points, you will need to specify the grid spacing, the size of the text to show the footcandle level at that point in space, the number of decimal points, and most importantly, the height of the workplane or horizontal activity plane. Click OK.
  • Once the calculation points show up, go to a side view to confirm its elevational information.
