Does archicad have a tool that would automatically add lighting fixtures (especially downlights) based on size/height of the space and knowing what strength of the down light (etc.)?&nbsp;</P> <P><BR />I am working currently on electric plan and trying to best manage my time. Since the calculations are known formulas that can be automatized, I would assume there is a way to do it in software but I can’t find it.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>If it’s not there, how else do you know where to add lights and how many?!&nbsp;</P> <P>Thank youuuu</P> Sat, 27 Jul 2024 23:29:02 GMT cocoloco 2024-07-27T23:29:02Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Project-data-BIM/Lighting-calculations/m-p/620033#M10801 <P>Hi!

Only the specific Lighting Software like Dialux/Relux/AGI32 can do it.</P><P>I think the best solution is to create a simple room with the same dimension on these software to check the right lux level values.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Nicola Gardoni<BR />Lighting Design Dept.</P><P>SIMES S.p.A<BR />Via G.
