Lighting Calcs (Photometrics)

[jmw]

How are you guys doing your lighting calcs?

I'm been doing a layout in MEP, then importing the dwg as a background file into Visual Pro (point-to-point), then laying out new fixtures over the background file fixtures. Seems kinda redundant to me. Is there an add on to MEP to do this in AMEP? I don't see where you can do this with out of the box MEP.

While searching the subscription site I found a MEP 2010 plug-in called DIALux used to perform lighting calcs very similar to the way the HVAC load calculation program works using the gbxml import/export functions. Anyone tried the DIALux plug-in?
