Interior Lighting Photometric Calculations

[Wish List System]

Summary: Create the ability to calculate interior lighting photometrics (footcandles) within Revit MEP

Description: Me thinks it would really increase efficiency and productivity if a user were able to use Revit MEP to calculate interior photometrics and create performance reports from within Revit MEP instead of exporting 2D floor/rcps or a 3D dwg files and then importing the dwg(s) into a 3rd party lighting calc software such as AGI32 or Acuity Brands Visual 2017 (my company uses Visual in lieu of AGI32).
Being able to use a room/space that's already defined in Revit would be SOOooooo much easier then recreating it Visual. Visual 2017 even makes teaser references to revit compatibility but we haven't seen it yet. While its an easy to use piece of software, its also very tempermental.

From Visual's News page there is a "call for Revit files" for their testing (you might already be aware of this)

In the meantime, ElumTools is an excellent option in that it seamlessly integrates with the Revit UI and database. You can find it on the Autodesk App Store.
