Pochflyboy Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 How do I see the results of a photometric grid without having to add a focus point for every fixture? I have 70 house lights that I want to see the results of brightness without having to dump 70 focus points in. Quote Link to comment
Kevin Allen Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Photometric tools only work with spotlight lighting devices. They need to be on and focused. your house lights must be spotlight lighting devices, which can be custom made if you’re not using theatrical fixtures so you need those ficus pint objects. They and the photo metic objects can be classed or on their own layer to control visibility. Quote Link to comment

Josh Schulman Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 I've said this before and I'll say it again, VW should have an actual photometric grid tool that makes use of IES files. Think AGi32. https://lightinganalysts.com/software-products/agi32/overview/ Currently, there is no way to use VW to accurately tell you how much light is on a given object. In Architainment, this would be a killer feature. 4 Quote Link to comment
