Description

ElumTools® stands out as the first and only fully integrated lighting calculation add-in specifically designed for Autodesk® Revit®. This innovative tool allows for precise point-by-point illuminance calculations on any surface or workplane by leveraging existing lighting fixture families and surface geometry within the Revit model. Operating entirely within Revit, ElumTools features its own ribbon toolbar, which facilitates swift access to analytical tools tailored for Revit Rooms, Spaces, Regions, and Views. The calculation process generates an interactive Radiosity-based visualization, enabling designers to conduct immersive walk-throughs that enhance their comprehension of how light interacts with surfaces. User-friendly and straightforward, ElumTools simplifies the process of performing lighting computations regularly. By streamlining the workflow, ElumTools significantly reduces the time and effort previously spent exporting geometry to external software and reconciling results with Revit sheets, thereby enhancing overall productivity. This tool not only boosts efficiency but also empowers designers to create more informed lighting designs.

Description

Lighting can be a challenging subject to master, and even after gaining knowledge, executing effective lighting plans can be a cumbersome task. Interior designers, architects, and kitchen and bath designers often seek to manage their lighting designs independently, yet they may lack the essential technical expertise and the time required for intricate calculations. LightCalc was developed to address these challenges effectively. With this innovative tool, there is no need for extensive mathematical knowledge! It utilizes readily available information from designers, such as ceiling height, room dimensions, counter height, and color schemes. Once this data is inputted, LightCalc efficiently calculates the ideal footcandle levels and fixture spacing, while also recommending a ceiling layout for the lighting fixtures. Designers will appreciate the intuitive point-and-click interface, along with the visual representations that illustrate the impact of the lighting design. This user-friendly program empowers designers to create tailored lighting solutions with ease and confidence.
