Changing Luminaire Mounting Height - Concepts

The Luminaire - Change Height commands provide the ability to change the luminaire mounting height of a single luminaire, multiple luminaires, or all luminaires, with or without changing the associated aiming parameters. Two options are provided within the command : Change Height, and Change Height - Same Aiming Points.

The Change Height option is intended for luminaires placed with the Static Aiming or Locate and Orient options and may be used in conjunction with luminaire groups or arrangements. This is the option most often required for most applications, such as site lighting, indirect lighting and many other applications. Any tilt, roll or spin that has been applied to the luminaire will be maintained.

This command may also be used in conjunction with luminaires placed with Locate and Aim, with the aiming vector being recalculated as necessary.

The Change Height - Same Aiming Points command is intended for luminaires placed with the Locate and Aim option and is not available for luminaire groups or arrangements. Use this option whenever you need to maintain an aiming point but require a different mounting height. Examples might include sports lighting, facade lighting, and other floodlighting applications.

Selecting luminaires to filter for a particular Z coordinate

Press the SHIFT key during the selection process to select luminaires located at the current Z coordinate. This can be very helpful when selecting stacked luminaires. Set the Z coordinate (shown in the lower right-hand corner) using the Page Up and Page Down keys on the keyboard.
