Lighting plan functions

Switch lighting fixture symbolic and top view representation
The command switches between the symbolic representation assigned to the type of luminaire on the floor plan and the top view representation.

Assignment of switches and lamps
The lighting plan represents the relationship between switches and lamps as a 2D line or arc. The lighting plan does not appear in 3D.

- Select the switch and then the luminaire.
- Draw a line or arc to the switch starting from the center of the lamp.
- If there are multiple lamps on a single circuit, select the other lamps.

The program automatically creates the connecting lines.

For multi-pole switches, the second and additional poles must be assigned in the Number of ways field of the Properties panel, selecting the number of ways (independent circuits).

Add further lamps to an existing circuit

If you want to assign additional lamps to an existing circuit, select additional lamps.
The program automatically creates the connecting lines.
Place of the command: Interior - Lighting plan - Add further lamps to an existing circuit

Multi-pole switches
For multi-pole switches, the second and additional poles must be assigned in the Number of ways field of the Properties panel, selecting the number of ways (independent circuits).

Delete lighting plan connection
The connected poles are shown in red when the switch is selected.
Depending on the selected element, the command releases one of the following connections:

- Lamp selected: Lamp connection to switch is deleted
- Connection element: the connection element is deleted, the lamps and switch pole become unconnected
- Switch selected: All connections of the switch will be disconnected.

Display lamp statuses
The command displays lights with red colour on the lighting plan that are already connected and blue the free lights that are not yet assigned to a switch.

Display switch statuses
The command shows in red the switches connected to each pole in the lighting plan and the free switches in green that are not yet assigned to any lamp.
Switches that are partially free, that is, already connected but with additional free poles, will appear in blue.

Room build-in power
The purpose of this command is to determine the approximate power requirement for a room illumination.

Basic information required:
- floor space of the room
- lighting efficiency,
- the required illumination value (lx),
- average luminous efficacy of light sources (lm / W)

The built-in power (W) is an indication to provide the luminous flux (lumen) planned for the room.
