Lighting Fixture

The Lighting fixture tool is intended to create lighting fixture in a model to design electrical systems on walls, columns, floors and beams.

To place an object:

  1. Click the Lighting fixture tool.
  2. Set the Lighting fixture parameters:
  3. Position of lighting fixture relative to axis. Each option on the drop-down list shows how the object will be located relative to the insertion point on the level's plan or 3D view.

    Lighting fixture horizontal offset. X axis offset relative to insertion point. Can be negative.

    Lighting fixture vertical offset. Y axis offset relative to insertion point. Can be negative.

    Lighting fixture style. Defines lighting fixture category, appearance, overall dimensions, parameters and properties. When editing, you can select only the style of the same category from the list.

    Lighting fixture rotation angle.

    Mark. It appears in the schedules. Necessary for insertion into the drawing.

  4. Change the measure mode to Cubic, Cylindrical or Spherical.
  5. Specify an insertion point on any wall, column, floor or beam.

In order to modify, copy or relocate a created object, select it with the Select tool.

To connect lighting fixture to an electrical system:

  1. Right-click the object in the 3D view, level's plan or schedule.
  2. Select Select in system > System category name on the shortcut menu.
  3. In the system tab, determine the connection.

If object ports are not connected to the route, then all available system categories are displayed in the context menu. If ports are connected to routes, then only their categories are displayed in the list.
