DIALux Evo now allows users to export documentation with an expanded glossary for greater project accessibility. This makes the documents more user-friendly for wider project audiences.
DIALux allows users to store furniture they have self-constructed themselves in its catalog and exchange it with others through exchange. A DIALux ID can be created directly within the software for this purpose.
Detailed 3D modeling
DIALux Evo offers several 3D models that can assist in the planning process for projects. Based on real data, these models give an accurate representation of where your project will take place as well as lighting calculations and presenting designs to clients.
One of the greatest advances in DIALux Evo is its capability of planning public space illumination. This can be especially helpful when working on large projects where multiple areas require illumination planning at once; furthermore, having this information already collected in one central place saves both time and effort on site.
Another feature that has been enhanced is the ability to quickly position luminaries using a line arrangement tool. This allows you to place luminaires quickly in a line and instantly view their light output, saving both time and improving designs with more accurate representations of how projects will look upon completion.
Evo 9 also introduces an important improvement with its project tab, making it simpler and faster to input and view all required project information. Although it might only seem like a minor difference, having this special tab makes the entire planning process faster and simpler while helping avoid mistakes altogether.
Detailed CAD documentation
DIALux Evo 9 has recently experienced significant upgrades that enhance its functionality for lighting designers. Updates were implemented to make it more user-friendly and improve efficiency, saving time and increasing productivity. Furthermore, its documentation is now easier for clients to digest – providing another effective tool for communicating designs to clients.
Export documentation now features a glossary of terms used throughout a project, making it easier for clients to understand its details and reduce chances of mistakes during installation. Although this change may seem minor, it will dramatically enhance overall quality.
One area for improvement would be locking specific layers and layouts within DIALux Evo software, as this will reduce human error during projects, especially when placing luminaires or furniture layouts, saving both time and money for all involved in the team effort.
One drawback of Evo 9 is its inability to import exterior scenes from DIALux 4 into Evo 9. This may be owing to outdated standards and calculation surfaces; nevertheless, this would have made switching much simpler.
Detailed lighting design
DIALux lighting design software program enables users to easily and professionally design professional installations right from their computer. It can be used to design rooms, buildings, outdoor areas and more while offering features to compare different light sources such as LED and compact fluorescent lamps (CFL).
DIALux Evo version 9 features many enhancements designed to make your job simpler, such as an improved’show light visualisation’ feature that allows users to see how light from certain luminaires affects a project without having to calculate everything separately – saving both time and energy when managing large projects.
Addition of a glossary to project documentation is another beneficial improvement that makes the document easier for project team members and non-lighting design professionals to understand. Another wonderful enhancement is Target Tick System which quickly indicates whether lighting meets performance specifications.
DIALux Evo’s latest release brings not only brand new features, but also several improvements to existing functions – including faster and more intuitive user interface, modern calculation method and support for BIM integration.
Detailed energy calculation
Designing lighting for schools, office buildings or public areas requires taking aesthetic and energy considerations into account simultaneously. DIALux Evo has made this task much simpler; with every release improving software features to increase design team efficiency.
One of the key enhancements in DIALux Evo is a detailed energy calculation feature that allows users to accurately and quickly calculate annual daylight illuminance. This feature represents a great improvement for electric lighting designers looking to integrate daylight analysis into their workflow.
Another innovative feature is the Show Light Visualisation Tool, which displays the total light output of any selected luminaire in 3D. This enables users to understand the impact of changes to their lighting scheme as well as ensure they meet project performance criteria.
DIALux Evo 9 software now makes it possible to plan escape routes and identify anti-panic areas according to EN 1838 2019, making this feature extremely helpful to anyone working in emergency lighting. However, DIALux would benefit greatly by adding emergency calculations into DIALux Evo so all projects could be managed through one software platform.
