I have some problems with the windows. One of the windows is only visible during 2D viewing but not visible during 3D viewing. When I tried to delete it, the wall gave an error and it disappeared too. It happens in Storey 2 Ruang Kelas-4 as I attached in the picture below.

Our plug-in is available for download directly from our website or from Dialux website www.dialux.com with online LIGMAN catalogue.
I'm a lighting designer, and we're currently integrating a BIM pipeline into our workflow. We're facing a challenge: our lighting calculation software Dialux is extremely picky with IFC models, often requiring a much simpler model than the entire building. What would be the best way to simplify the model? Is it possible to use the ifcSpace element somehow to select only the objects within a specific space and then strip the model of all other elements?
Hi @Stealthmasterflex. This is a very similar problem that I have using BIM-models (IFC) as input for thermal simulations since Dialux has roughly the same limitations as most thermal tools. Daylight tools using Radiance can use the model as it is with the exception of glass panes. Anyway, I do not use Dialux myself but my daughter is a light designer so I still have interest in solving this. Usually all we need is IfcSpaces and windows but we also need walls, slabs and roofs to get optical and thermal properties. My biggest problem is that most IFC-files from Revit or ArchiCAD have no IfcSpaces or IfcSpaces with too simple or to complex shape and it is also not obvious what level of detail you need. For thermal simulations you probably do not want columns but for light and CFD they might be important. Therefore, if I could find a way to change the level of detail of IfcSpaces and also create them based upon more or less closed volumes that would help me a lot. BlenderBim can create spaces but so far the result is far from useful for non trivial buildings.
The Elements are then written to the .stf file which can be imported into DIALux 4, the add-in also exports a 3D DWG file to the same chosen location which can then be overlayed in DIALux. Luminaires are imported into DIALux as placeholders which can then be swapped out for other luminaire photometric files for calculation. Geometry can be imported into DIALux EVO through the use of the .stf file but it doesn't support windows, doors or luminaires.
The import function works by reading in the STF file, the user can then assign Revit families to them and add references to a selected family parameter. The luminaires families are then placed in the model to match the DIALux calculation.
Some Revit Family luminaire placement types work better than others - Unhosted and LevelBased are the most consistent while ceiling, face and wall and any other do not always come in at the correct location.
The import function does not support the use of LINE, CIRCLE or FIELD arrangements in DIALux to place luminaires, the light planning should be undertaken in Revit or just with the use of the INDIVIDUAL placement (See image and help document for more information.
Hi, I believe STF export works fine, however the precision of the coordinates of the export sometimes changes in case of decimal numbers for the same file. Also, I havent been able to use import function properly, the fixtures are pasted some other part of the model.
Well-designed lighting systems provide exactly the amount of light required without compromising functionality or wasting energy. Of course, design elements vary tremendously, depending on whether lighting is for the interiors of buildings, whether it is for exterior architectural use, or whether it relates to landscaping design, or for streets or other public spaces. In all these areas, there are both practical and aesthetic considerations, and to achieve their design objectives, designers use superior calculation procedures.
The lighting specialists at Nearby Engineers New York Engineers ensure that practical and aesthetic requirements are met and they carefully consider compliance issues. For instance, energy efficiency is a major consideration along with the potential effects standards and lighting regulations might have on lighting design parameters. Other factors we need to consider are:
One of the easiest ways to calculate the required average illumination for rooms is with the lumen method. A lumen (derived from the Latin, meaning light) is the S1 unit of luminous flux (or lux) that equals the amount of light emitted per second in a unit solid angle of one steradian (square radian) from a uniform source of one candela. A candela is, of course, the base unit of luminous intensity in the international System of Units.
The lumen method is relatively simple and based on utilization factor tables that are created from photometric measurements of individual luminaires. The simplest calculation is shown in number 1, below. However, as you will see, there are other factors and data that are required.
Developed by the German Institute for Applied Lighting Technology (DIAL), DIALux software has been available since 1994. It not only simplifies lighting design but also provides a platform for companies to professionally market luminaires and other lighting products. While lighting manufacturers pay to have their products featured on the DIALux database, with 3D models and photometric data, this is also of direct benefit to clients who get to see exactly what specified light fixtures and fittings look like in the building environment.
DIALux enables lighting designers to plan, calculate, and visualize lighting projects whether they involve small spaces, houses, large commercial buildings, parking lots, roads, or landscaped gardens. It is also possible to import CAD data into DIALux from other architectural and engineering software programs which make it an even more versatile option.
The openings in buildings are vital, particularly for natural lighting, and so we select doors and windows and change their dimensions to fit the design of the room or building. Then we place furniture and other objects, working from existing pictures or catalogs to make the final result as true to life as possible. Then we put a roof on the building.
While it is relatively simple to position luminaires, it is a bit more complicated than just dragging and dropping light fittings and fixtures into an on-screen picture of the room. It is also very important to position them correctly so they point where they are required and to calculate the load of the lighting.
Getting to see what the visual effects are like inside and outside, or how exterior lighting is incorporated, is as easy as switching lights on and off. It really is winning software, for us and for you, our clients.
If you are looking for customized, energy-efficient lighting design that meets all the necessary standards in terms of legislation and quality, Nearby Engineers New York Engineers can offer quick, accurate calculations that will show you exactly what you are getting, and more.
With DIALux evo 11, DIAL GmbH has released an update to its lighting design software that helps lighting designers do their job even more easily. Users can now see at a glance how the energy-saving potential will turn out depending on daylight-dependent control. In addition, it is now possible to save self-constructed furniture and objects, as well as work with the latest standards, and much more. DIALux evo 11 is available for download free of charge at www.dialux.com.DIALux evo 11 helps lighting designers save energy
The question often arises as to how much savings can be achieved by controlling a lighting system based on daylight? With the latest version, DIALux evo 11, lighting designers can find out very easily. For each planning, a tachometer shows approximately how much energy is saved. This should help to decide whether it is worthwhile to look into the matter a little more closely. DIAL has built a new tool for this purpose. In the DIALux project, planners place a sensor in the room, set how the room is to be used and determine which luminaires are to be excluded from the control.
For every hour and every day of the year, the daylight coming in through the windows is determined and the amount of artificial light that needs to be added to achieve the required illuminance is calculated. The result shows how much energy, CO2 and money is saved per year if the lighting designer includes the control system.
With DIALux evo 11, DIAL has also added the update for the latest version of EN 12464-1:2021-11. Users can still choose between the previous version from 2011 and the new one from 2021. Both versions work in parallel. This ensures that DIALux does not change normative settings when loading projects of the 2011 version. The tables from section seven of the standard are of course stored in DIALux.
Good news also for lighting designers in Italy: With DIALux evo 11 it is now possible to calculate ratings additionally with IPEA* and IPEI*. These can now be added simply by checking a checkbox. The results are of course also shown in the documentation
With DIALux evo 11, users can save self-constructed furniture or other objects in DIALux. The furniture files have their own file format and can also be exchanged with other DIALux users. In addition, there are now search and filter options for objects. By right-clicking or using the actions in the footer, furniture can be loaded into or saved from the catalog. Additionally, furniture can be saved by right-clicking from the "Materials" and "Copy and Arrange" tools
The documentation of dimming values and control groups is back. For each control group there is a plan in which all associated luminaires are marked. This allows lighting designers to see at a glance which luminaires are controlled/dimmed together. This is supplemented by a table with dimming values. This table shows per control group their dimming states depending on the lighting scene. A luminaire list completes the output and is used to identify luminaire types in the plan. The documentation can be created for individual rooms, complete floors and the outdoor area
