: Users can now configure documentation by toggling specific graphics on/off, placing their own company logos, and choosing between different layout alternatives to suit specific project needs. Direct Editing
: Instead of generating individual outputs for every room, designers can now create a complete room overview that lists all luminaires and energy data in a single, concise format.
Start by setting up your project parameters. You can draw your space from scratch using the built-in CAD tools, or import an existing 2D DWG/DXF floor plan. For advanced workflows, importing a 3D IFC file allows you to automatically generate walls, windows, and doors. Step 2: Designing the Space dialux evo 9
The definitive highlight of DIALux evo 9 was its rewritten calculation engine. Lighting calculations, particularly for complex projects with multiple rooms and numerous luminaires, were notoriously time-consuming in previous versions. Version 9 introduced multi-threading optimizations, cutting calculation times significantly and allowing designers to iterate on their concepts faster. 2. Advanced Documentation and Reporting
: Placing luminaires along lines or in fields (added in version 9.1) is now more efficient. New features include a length grid and angle snap for precise positioning. : Users can now configure documentation by toggling
Furthermore, DIALux evo 9 enables users to configure the documentation by switching graphics and display modes on or off, placing their own logos, and more—capabilities that were not possible in previous versions. For the first time, the software also offers layout alternatives for many pages, allowing users to adapt output to the specific requirements of each project.
Evaluating daylight integration and designing efficient, comfortable workspaces. You can draw your space from scratch using
The line arrangement and snap mechanism received significant improvements in DIALux evo 9, dramatically reducing the time required for luminaire placement. Key enhancements include:
[Import CAD/BIM] ➔ [Construct Geometry] ➔ [Apply Materials] ➔ [Place Luminaires] ➔ [Calculate & Export] Step 1: Project Setup and CAD Import
Experts will gravitate towards the flexibility. In Dialux evo 9, you are no longer restricted to rectangular working planes. You can now define calculation surfaces on sloping ceilings, curved walls, or vertical display racks. The False Color rendering engine has been upgraded to support HDR output, allowing you to export results that look photographic straight from the viewport.
