  • Creating light fixtures using the Light Fixture Project Schedule command
  • The Insert Light Fixture command
  • The Query Device command
  • Using and configuring the Insert General Photometric Calculation Area and Calculate General Photometrics commands
  • Grouping and ungrouping calculation areas and schedules
  • Using sloped calculation areas
  • Inserting photometric solids and masks
  • The Aim Light Fixture command
  • Commands for egress lighting
• Indoor photometrics
  • Creating rooms
  • The Insert Indoor Lighting Level Report command

We also answer the following questions:

• "How do you model linear LED lighting for lengths that are different from the length used in the IES file?"
• "Which point on the light fixture block is associated with the IES file, and can it be changed?"
• "How do you insert panels on multiple drawings or in multiple areas?"
• "How do you handle spare breakers?"
