ReluxCAD for Revit
What does the software offer?
Enormous time savings and ready for BIM
By using the ReluxCAD for Revit add-on, the required number of luminaires in interior and exterior spaces can be determined in line with standards. Electrical designers are thus equipped with an easy-to-use and comprehensible simulation tool in their familiar working environment.
Enhance the lighting planning quality in buildings!
Ensuring the BIM workflow
What sets ReluxCAD for Revit apart?
Clear display of complex products
Interior & exterior measurement areas
Simulation of passive infrared sensors
Massive time savings and productivity
Bidirectional interface with ReluxDesktop
Reach your goal in three simple steps
1. Select luminaires and sensors
The add-on imports rfa, ies, ROLFz and GLDF files and automatically adapts them to the particular Revit version. Select your luminaires from the vast ReluxNet search database and use also Eulumdat.
Using neutral products in your planning? Import them and include the light distribution curve.
2. Assign and calculate
Inform the Room Manager of the main activities carried out in the rooms, then obtain the requirements with regard to standards. Select the desired luminaire type for the basic lighting.
The build-in radiosity lighting calculation places the luminaires automatically into each room and provide full photometric results.
3. Display results + luminaire list
A usage list is created to clarify which luminaires are to be installed where.
The lighting simulation can be displayed in 2D or 3D.
Practical Features
Emergency lighting
Emergency lighting planning in accordance with EN 1838 is now possible directly in Revit. The functions are available in a separate ribbon.
With practical and innovative tools such as live results, the measured values can be evaluated even better directly on the screen.
Clear display of complex products
Luminaires may contain several heads with different light distribution curves. We help you maintain an overview.
Interior & exterior measurement areas
Standard-sized measurement areas are created automatically. However, individual measurement areas can also be assigned to objects
.
Simulation of passive infrared sensors
Sensor planning in real-time. Reliable planning of PIR detectors is possible thanks to our involvement in the SensNorm association and CECAPI.
Bidirectional interface – communication with lighting designers
A bidirectional interface enables loss-free communication with the ReluxDesktop lighting planning software.
ReluxDesktop was developed for lighting designers and fulfils all the needs of those working in this field in a professional capacity.
Extensive luminaire import options
Benefit from extensive luminaire import options without restrictions. This can be done directly from the software or from the extensive ReluxNet luminaire database.
