Creating Luminaire Groups

  1. From the Modify menu, select Luminaire - Group - Create Group, or from the Luminaire Toolkit, select image\luminaire_group_button.jpg.
  2. Enclose the luminaires to be grouped in a window.
  3. Select the Group insertion point.
  4. Select the Group reference angle. Reference angles are used in flood lighting when creating aiming diagrams and used when creating Composite Photometric Files to adjust relative orientation. For other applications, the reference angle will be zero.
  5. Assign a unique Label to the group in the Define Luminaire dialog box. If desired, add a Description, add a pole or pendant, and/or modify the group Color.
  6. If desired, add a Tag to the Group or a Sub-Tag to the individual locations within the Group.
  7. Click the Add/Redefine button to add the Group to the Define Luminaire List.
  8. Click Exit.
  9. The selected luminaires will be replaced with the defined luminaire group.

Note: Arms are not shown in luminaire groups. The Arm Length is applied but the arm is not displayed graphically in Model Mode. It can be displayed in Render Mode via the Model Overlay command.
