I have been working with DIALux lighting software and it works great for daylighting! The problem is I have no idea how to create a floor plan. I see all these galleries from users with multiple rooms in a single scene. How do I do that? I have a room that borders a hallway with exterior windows. The room has interior windows to capture more daylight from hall sunlight. I can't however model this? DIALux only lets me do one room at a time. I can't edit geometry or insert points to get another room in there. Help!
In the project browser (tree) on the left - right click on the project header(name) and insert new room. You can then add a new room and run daylight calcs. In the modeling space you will only see one room. But on outputs you should see both.
DIALux is a very cool software - I have never met anyone who actually uses it.
Isn't that the same as adding a new room to the project? I know how to create new rooms. I am looking to add a (hallway)room right next to the first room in the same window because the daylighting is effected by the hallway room. The hall space has windows in it which add/push daylight into the room I want daylilght calcs. for. Like I said...I am seeing galleries where people have multiple rooms in one window. Thanks for your response, let me know if you have an answer.
