This is great, thanks for sharing! Quick Question, can you do you calcs / documentation in Elumtools, then produce pretty lighting renders in Enscape with the lighting shown correctly?
It’s been a few years since I did a render with Enscape, I should revisit that. If I remember correctly, you should be able to render using the ies files loaded into the lighting fixture family. I know you can cycle the time of day in Enscape and see the building at noon vs nighttime and the lights should illuminate correctly.
That’s pretty cool! And yea, I believe you’re right on the AGi32. It’s incredible how well it works, raytracing, number of bounces, surface properties, etc.
@@theelectricaldepartment I’m not an electric engineer; am an Architect; so I had to find something that was a bit user friendly; already embedded within Revit and simple to use, Glad you covered it because I barely knew how to use it back then 😂
Great work on this intro to Elum tools for Revit and some lighting basics. Is there any way to either render these values in Vray or other tools? Or to export these results for your room to a CAD file?
@@theelectricaldepartment correct! And how to calculate it all. You can set an IES file for this type, or you can just use a reduction in the coefficient, as I understand it?
Foot candle? nobody in the world uses "candles" anymore as main source of lighting, same as for "foot" totally non-precise, erroneous unit... engineering is not only applying theoretical concepts, it must be engineering for construction, therefore there is great importance in using the most accurate way of measuring, building, fabricating, etc... which is the metric unit... and in the case of 3D models setting the units as millimeters. For the case of illuminance shall be LUX. Cheers
Ive been struggling with Elum tools for awhile, this is very helpful! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!

I did my Thesis using this ✅
if I remember correctly it’s based on renowned AGi32’s engine

Could you record a video on how to make emergency lighting? When we use Instance parameters for this.
Oh yea sure. You mean how to calculate emergency lighting levels right?
