Lighting levels can easily be monitored using rev schedules
00:07
where it can be seen if the appropriate level for
00:10
the intended use of a room has been achieved.
00:13
This same information can also be added to customized
00:15
tags to help and improve the process of review
00:20
with rivet spaces and zones being routinely added to projects.
00:23
This provides an ideal opportunity to leverage the
00:26
information in a project model to improve that process
00:31
when creating color fill legends.
00:33
It's recommended that a duplicate floor plan be created for each
00:37
as only a single color fill can be shown on a floor plan.
00:41
In this example,
00:43
we'll create a view specifically for the purpose of displaying lighting levels.
00:47
After creating named and numbered spaces,
00:49
the lighting levels will be revealed using a color
00:52
fill legend set up for that specific purpose.
00:55
As lighting levels change, the color fill will update accordingly.
01:00
Start by duplicating this view for the purpose of displaying lighting levels.
01:04
In our project.
01:08
Rename the view one. Lighting levels,
01:16
select a lighting fixture from this view
01:19
and from your keyboard type VH to hide
01:22
the category of lighting fixtures from the view
01:27
spaces must now be added to the project,
01:29
go to the analyze tab from the ribbon and select the space command
01:36
set the upper limit to level two
01:38
and the offset to zero.
01:42
Ensure tag on placement is selected, then pick place spaces automatically
01:51
to ensure the naming convention is
01:52
consistent with the linked architectural model.
01:55
Use the space naming tool to automatically apply the space names and numbers.
02:03
Next,
02:04
we will add a colorful legend that will present the lighting
02:07
levels for each space in an easy to interpret floor plan,
02:13
select color fill legend from the color fill panel
02:17
left,
02:18
click to place the legend to the right side of the floor plan and accept the defaults.
02:26
The color fill currently displays the space names
02:29
to change this. We need to edit the scheme,
02:33
select the legend and choose edit scheme from the ribbon.
02:38
Create a new scheme called illuminate,
02:47
then change the title to illuminate
02:55
from the color dropdown menu.
02:57
Change the option to average estimated illumination,
03:04
read the message and select OK.
03:07
And close all windows
03:11
to display the title,
03:12
select the legend from the screen,
03:15
then edit the type properties and place a check against show title,
03:23
the floor plan and legend clearly show the values across the project.
03:28
But if you are looking to achieve specific levels and
03:32
to identify those either above or below that level,
03:35
then the scheme can be edited,
03:40
edit the scheme once more and change the
03:42
scheme definition from buy value to buy range
03:48
set the first at least value to 40.
03:54
Then add another row setting the value to 50.
04:00
We now have a range of between 40
04:08
the floor with anything above or below set to a different color.
04:15
Go ahead and edit the colors, then select ok, to close your windows.
04:23
It's now much easier to determine if the
04:26
correct levels have been achieved in the project
04:31
tile, the windows so that both views can be seen
04:35
then change one of the lighting fixtures in the dining
04:38
area to see the results in the color fill view
04:44
by adding or utilizing existing spaces in your project.
04:47
Colorful legends can provide an effective way to improve
04:51
the visualization of information already in your project.
04:55
The display can be altered to best suit the way you
04:58
need to review the information and to understand the effect of change
05:02
for compliance checking to design specifications.
05:05
Colorful legends provide a quick and easy reference tool
05:09
for anyone creating or reviewing designs in A R
05:12
project model.

A notification reports that 16 spaces have been automatically created.
Note the color fill legend with the title.
Note the color by range, not value, in the view.
