Editing Luminaires

The Edit Luminaire command modifies a luminaire’s location and aiming parameters in tabular format instead of graphically on the desktop. The Edit Luminaire command allows you to make numerical (or alphanumerical) changes to selected luminaires without having to move or re-aim the luminaires in question. Any number of luminaires, luminaire arrangements and luminaire groups may be selected to edit. Each luminaire occurrence (or group occurrence) is independently editable.

Edit luminaires

1. From the Modify menu select Luminaire - Edit. Or, in the Luminaire Toolkit, select . You may select individual luminaires one at a time with the pick box. Right click to complete the selection process.

   Alternatively, you may select multiple luminaires this way: Left click on the pull-down arrow to the right of the button to invoke the secondary menu. Select Window or All. If you selected Window, draw the "window" by clicking opposite corners of a rectangle that encompasses the luminaires you wish to select.

2. In the Edit Luminaire dialog: To edit a luminaire’s Channel, location, label or aiming parameters, simply click in the appropriate cell and enter the desired value.
3. To sort the luminaires by any parameter (Label, Orient, etc.), click on the column header for the desired parameter.
4. To make a constant modification to every luminaire within the Edit Luminaires dialog or to all luminaires of a selected luminaire type, select the Bulk Modifications button.
5. Click OK.

 Note: Press the Shift key during the selection process to select luminaires located at the current Z- coordinate. This is handy when selecting stacked luminaires (i.e., multiple luminaires on one pole at different heights).
