Roadway Optimizer Export

The Roadway Optimizer Export process exports all calculated grids in the currently displayed layout to Model Mode. To export some but not all, open the Settings dialog (on the top menu bar) and uncheck any that you don't wish to export to Model Mode.

Once the Export button is clicked, the layout will be attached to the cursor at the lower-left corner of the calculation grid. Placing the grid is a two-step process. The first step is to drop the layout into position by clicking on the appropriate location. The next step is to rotate the grid into whatever is an appropriate orientation. Click when at the correct angle (shown just below the Command Line) to complete the Export process. The exported calculation grid is reset and will need to be recalculated.

The calculation grid is placed within differing luminaire cycles depending on the selected standard and criteria. For IES criteria, the calculation grid is generally located at the 2nd luminaire cycle of 5 luminaire cycles. Roadway Optimizer has been enhanced to handle very short luminaire cycle spacing. A problem with the minimum number of cycles recommended by ANSI-IES RP-8-18 can result in the observer for Veiling Luminance being located outside of the luminaire cycles. AGi32 now adds 2 additional luminaire cycles to the left of the calculation area when necessary. In these cases,  the calculation grid is located at the 4th luminaire cycle of 7 luminaire cycles.
