General information
Welcome to DIALux evo This wiki is intended to help you to work quickly and effectively with DIALux evo. If you
have already had experience with Windows programmes, you should not have difficulty getting started. To enable
you to acquire the knowledge to work professionally with DIALux DIAL offers regular training courses and
seminars. You can find out about the dates and contents of these seminars at www.dial.de [1] [1]. Innovations and
updates can also be found on our homepage

System requirements
System requirements

CPU with SSE2 support

4 GB RAM (min. 2GB)
OpenGL 3.3 graphics card(1 GB RAM)(for evo 4.0)

Installation
Start the 32-bit or 64-bit setup.exe file and follow the instructions in the installation programme. To improve the
software certain information is sent to DIAL during setup: - a unique ID whereby no direct inference to your person
is permitted - information regarding the operating system installed (version, service pack...) - hardware information (
RAM, display resolution, ...) - detailed information about the capabilities of your graphics adapter
No personal data are transmitted. Further information is available here:
Terms and conditions of use
Data security
Is parallel installation of DIALux evo and DIALux 4 possible?
Parallel installation of DIALux 4 and DIALux evo on your computer is easy and causes no problems. Neither of the
programmes has any influence on the other. The electronic catalogues of luminaire and lamp manufacturers are
supported by both programmes. If both programmes are being run at the same time, the luminaires and lamps from
the catalogues are transferred to both programmes.
32-bit or 64-bit version? Which version should I use?
If you have suitable hardware and a 64-bit operating system, then you have access to a larger RAM. It is possible to
create and calculate larger projects in DIALux evo. Old DIALux projects (DIALux 2.0 to DIALux 4.11) can no
longer be opened with this version. Our recommendation is the 64-bit version The 32-bit version should only be used
if
a 32-bit operating system is installed on your computer
if you wish to continue to import old DIALux projects
DIALux evo projects can be loaded very easily by both versions as long as the RAM has the required capacity
available.

Operating principle
DIALux evo is divided up into a simple mode and tool concept. In each mode you will find typical tools for working
with each.
Can several instances of DIALux evo be started at the same time?
It is possible to have several instances of DIALux evo open at the same time and thus work on different projects.
N.B: There may be problems when exchanging data
between the different instances.

General settings
Via the menu [File -> Settings -> General settings] open the mode "Settings

General information
Here you can define how often DIALux evo should remind you to store your project and the maximum number of
working steps that can be cancelled.

Language settings
After installation DIALux evo operates in the language of your operating system. Under "Language settings" you
can change the language of the interface and the output and also switch from metric to imperial dimensions. Here it
is also possible to set the display of the photometric units displayed in the European system or the imperial system.

CAD
Here you can specify how many decimal places to be displayed on dimension lines.

Project settings
Here you enter the project folder in which your projects are normally stored

Other saving locations

Furniture and materials can also be stored on your hard disc. Here you can set the respective storage location. Only
in extreme cases is it necessary to change the storage location.

Output settings
If desired a footer text of your own and a personal logo in the header can be displayed in the printed output. Adjust
the settings here as required.

Norms
Via [File -> Settings -> Norms] open
the "Norm control centre" mode. Here
you can make individual settings
related to the topic of norms.
General settings

Default settings

Default settings

Here you select from different settings. With the

button "Generate copy of template selected" you
generate a new template which you can edit. The
templates supplied by DIALux cannot be edited.
You can make the following settings:

Illuminance ratio according to LG7

Provision for reflection on the ceiling with emergency lighting according to LG12

1 General

Ratio of distance to height, SHR

Maintenance value according to EN 12464 or blanket value

Profiles
In the profiles we have assembled general default settings, recommendations and benchmarks for individual areas.
When you select a profile in these areas or in a room, DIALux reverts to these values. Via "Generate a copy of the
profile selected" you can generate or change your own profiles.
The profile supplied by DIALux cannot be changed.

Explanation of terms / Legend

Workspaces
By workspaces DIALux evo means a programme setting which supports the designer in his current tasks with an
adapted user interface.. DIALux offers the following workspaces:
Outdoor planning and design of open spaces. You use the same workspace if you begin with a DWG/DXF import
or with an empty rectangular space.
Street Scheme Editor
and simple design of indoor spaces
When you begin your work, you select workspace on the start screen. Later you can change between the individual
workspaces within a project. To do this you use the combo box in the top right-hand corner

Modi
In DIALux, "mode" refers to the individual
work steps within a workspace, e.g. design,
light planning, calculation, documentation.
You will find the mode options above the
CAD window.

Restructuring GUI
In the user interface , some changes were made. The calculation can be started now via the two buttons above the
CAD. This makes it possible to start the calculation at any time , regardless of what mode you are in. The tool for
lighting scene generation is now in the "light" mode. The export mode is now available at all times . The tool for
creating raytracing files is now in the mode export. All tools for generating calculation objects can be found in the
new mode calculation objects.
Print outs
There is a colored floor plan, in
which the building geometry,
lighting, furniture and calculation
areas are displayed. It is automatically visible in the room summaries. Printouts of individual calculation areas use
this space view also to show the position of the surface. The calculation area is highlighted in the view.
In the room summary the result of calculation of the reference plane, the results of EN 12464-1 surfaces are
shown separately. The layout will be improved.
Display the false color scale in the print outs

2 Version history

13

The modeling is always visible for areas of activity in the result

table.
In the fixture part list the luminous flux of light sources, the
efficiencies and the luminous flux of fixtures for relative and
absolute measured photometric data are shown optional. It uses
the data of the luminaires used in the project, so fixtures with
different configurations are listed multiple times.
For fixtures with different equipment separate data sheets are
generated.
The tables of calculation results in the print out gets a new
layout, so that similar information can be better summarized.
The new layout is easier to read and fits better with the rest of
the page layout.
Reference values from the space profile are displayed in the
print out in brackets next to the calculated values.
The results of the main room surfaces are no longer shown separately in the room summary.
The output "Description" is only available in the output tree, if the user entered such a description.
Some information will appear multiple times in the output templates. For example, the calculation results of the
working plane appears both in the summary and in the surface output. These redundant outputs are removed from
the templates. However, the user of DIALux evo they can still select them and adjust its output individually.
The UGR will be calculated for a range of angles in discrete viewing directions. This information is displayed in a
star-shaped graph, so that the user can interpret the UGR values easier.
The luminaire classification according to CIE, UTE, BZ and
DIN will be added to part lists and the luminaire data sheets.
The output is extended by a luminous intensity table.

Daylight
With DIALux evo 4 it is possible to generate and calculate
daylight scenes. DIALux takes the CIE models for the clear,
cloudy and overcast sky into account. Direct sunlight is available
on request. The illuminance is calculated on real and virtual
surfaces, the luminance on real surfaces, as well as the daylight
factor at specific points or on an automatically generated reference
plane.

New result tool

Showing and hiding of individual calculation surfaces in the
CAD is possible to obtain a better overview of complex
projects.
A general overview of all calculation surfaces will be added
A traffic light system indicates the achievement of target values
on calculation surfaces.
A simplified scaling of the false color or iso-lines by an
interpolation between a start and an end value makes these
features accessible again.
Through the use of symbols for the different types of
calculations, the results will be easier to interpret.
Selected calculation surfaces will be highlighted in the result
tool. Calculation surfaces selected in the tool will be
highlighted in the CAD as well.

Simple indoor planning

For simple indoor planning you start "evo easy". The user interface is reduced to the simplest and absolutely
essential elements. Only few steps are required to plan rectangular rooms. While you are working with "evo easy",
you can switch any time to the full user interface to position objects or use other tools. Afterwards you can return to
"evo easy". When creating a second room the option of switching to "evo easy " is not available.

Project history
Here you can load and edit an existing planning project from a list of the projects last used. Move the mouse cursor
over the project history and rest the cursor on an item so that a small preview image is displayed. This is especially
helpful to differentiate between existing projects. In the search field it is also possible to search for a project name in
the history. If the desired product cannot be found in this way, the corresponding file can be localized in the network
or on the PC by clicking on the button "Load project....."

Menu file "settings"

The menu [edit] supports you during the planning process with standard commands to go back several steps or to
restore information. Of course it is also possible to cut, insert or delete objects ( furniture, luminaires). The menu
also includes an item to cancel the selection.

If you select luminaires or furniture in the menu [insert], you will be guided automatically to the appropriate tool.
This function is however only available when you have already started planning.

Menu insert

The menu [view] enables you to open new tabs in a further viewing list directly via the CAD window. This
procedure is especially helpful when you have to switch between many different views. Of course here you can also
close individual tabs or all. If the CAD view is not completely visible, you can display the whole scene by calling up
the appropriate menu item. You can also access the documentation mode in the view menu.

In DIALux evo it is possible to change the different display options by clicking top right on the "screen symbol".
In addition the following thirteen
options ( from the left) are available.
You can activate or deactivate them by
clicking on the respective symbol:

Display options in DIALux evo

1 Show/hide coordinates system

A green, a blue and a red help line is
inserted.The red line corresponds to
the x-axis, the green to the y-axis and
the blue to the z-axis of the coordinate
system. At the crossing of the lines is
the origin of the local coordinate
system.

Each view, so site, building, storey and room has its own coordinate system.
2 Show/hide help lines
With the tool "guides", various help
objects (circle, polyline, curve, height)
are generated.
These have no influence on the
calculation and are a guide or as a
design aid.
With the option "helplines show/ hide"
they can be disabled together so they
do not interfere example in screenshots
or views on the issue.

Coordinate system

3 Show/hide working planes

Each room has initial a working plane.
This can be shown or hidden by using
this option.

4 Show/hide calculation areas

Calculation surfaces and points are used to determine photometric quantities. This can be shown or hidden by using
this option.
5 Wireframe view
Surfaces of buildings and objects are usually represented with their material color or illuminated.
In case of complex objects it could be helpful to hide the filled areas, so that the surface edges are shown as lines in
CAD.

5 Display options

6 Show/hide isolines
Using the result tool results can be
visualized within individual areas.
There you can fade in and out and per
area.
With this option, all surface results are
shown and hidden together.
7 Show/hide DWG drawings
With this option all DWGs used in the
construction can be faded in and out.

Wireframe view

8 Show/hide light distribution curves

This option shows or hides the light
distribution curves for the selected
lumiaires and luminaire groups.
Also, several luminaires can be
selected at the same time.

9 Show/hide room designations

DIALux evo generates automatically a room name for each created room. This can be edited by the user in the
assesment zones tool.
Additionally refernce texts and comments can be written directly to the CAD by using the labelling tool.
They may interfere in screenshots and views, so that they can be turned on and off using this option.
10 Show/hide sky textures
DIALux evo generates an artificial horizon, which is used in the CAD for better orientation.
In uncalculated projects there is a blue sky day, in calculated projects a black night sky.
With this option the sky texture can be faded in and out.
11 Show/hide false colours
Using this option, the calculated light textures are shown in false color. At the bottom of the screen the used colors
can be set.
12 Show/hide light textures
The light texture of calculated projects
can be turned on at this point and
hidden.

Note: After calculation the light textures are not turned on automatically. If you cant see the light textures after the calculation,

check the settings of the display options.

13 Show light visualisation

With this option, the light effect of a single, selected luminaire can be directly visualized in the CAD,
even if the project has not yet been calculated. Especially with spotlighting or the alignment of luminaire that is a
very useful function.
14 Show energy consumption
With this option, the current energy
consumption of the scene is shown at
the bottom of the CAD window.
Further options are in the tool "energy

Of course you can position luminaires directly in your project using the "drag & drop" function.
If you do not wish to use the luminaires which have been inserted, you can simply replace them by selecting the
function "Exchange selected luminaires" or "Exchange all luminaires of this type". To do this mark the appropriate
luminaires in the CAD view.
You can plan your lighting using all the usual luminaire formats such as Eulumdat, IES, CIBSE, LTLI. Just use the
import function "Import luminaire file".

In the control function "Active luminaire" the luminaire with which you last
worked is displayed. With the "Select" button you come to the history of the
luminaire. If luminaires have already been used, a list of the luminaires which
were last used will be shown. Clicking with the right mouse button on a luminaire
image will open the appropriate context menu. Here the data sheet of the
luminaire can be displayed, if required, or the luminaire itself can be marked as a
favourite or it can be deleted from the history. The data sheet of the luminaire can
also be shown in the luminaire comparison. An external window, independent of
evo , is opened. Here you have the opportunity to have an overview of a
comparison of a large number of luminaires. If a luminaire is marked as a
favourite, you will always find this in the tab "Favourites", whatever the project
being used. The next tab "Catalogues" leads you to the luminaire catalogues
which have been installed. You can also call up our project partners via "further
catalogues...". You will automatically be forwarded to the manufacturer mode.
Below the active luminaire you will find all photometric data. The luminaire
which was last selected or which is in the CAD view is always defined as
"active". If you mark a luminaire in CAD, then other details will be shown as well
as the photometric data. You require these details in particular when you wish to
manually adjust the position, the assembly, the photometric values of the
luminaire, maintenance data or even energy consumption.
Luminaire folders
Here you can access not only history, favourites and catalogues but also the
Luminaire
folders which you have generated for luminaires.
You can generate and define theses folders yourself and then import them into evo by clicking on "Add folder... ".
After you have added a folder, you can open it in a separate
window with a double click.
On the left hand side all the sub-folders are listed which you can
select individually.
For this purpose the luminaires included in each of the folders
selected are listed on the right hand side .

The same principle is found in the "Furniture and object tool".

There, as in the luminaire tool, you can also add your own folders
for furniture and objects.

Lamps
The lamp tool provides support when modifying an active
luminaire. If you have not selected a luminaire in the CAD view,
then an explanatory text appears below the control. As soon as a
luminaire is marked, the complete control field opens. Here you

can adjust not only the luminous flux but also the power and
colour temperature of the original fitting and also the spectrum. In addition it is also possible to change the type of
lamp. A list of the usual alternatives is available in the drop down menu.
After adjusting manually you only need to click on the button "Adopt" and the new fitting will be included in your
planning.

Editing joints
If the luminaire model being used has one or more joints, then this is indicated by a symbol next to the
manufacturer's logo. The editing of the joints in accordance with their possible alignment is done either graphically
in the CAD view or manually in the input box. Please note that the lumianire must previously have been selected in
CAD in order to switch all the buttons into active mode. The alignment is made visible by means of a rotation
symbol along the axis. If you wish to set a focal point directly, then use the control "Set focal point" and select a
point in the CAD. The alignment of the luminaire to the target selected is then automatic. You can align the
luminaire according to all variants starting from C0 G0. By clicking on both buttons you will be led to the next
variant without having to make any graphic or manual preparations. If you wish to reset to the original position of
the rotation of the joint, then activate the "Reset angle " function. The joint will then be rotated to the starting
position.

Filters
With the filter tool you can furnish your luminaire with different colour filters, correction or other filters. To do this,
select one or more luminnaires with the mouse and select the filter desired either from those last used, from your
favourites or from the DIAL filter catalogue. The tool shows you the filter spectrum and the spectrum resulting from
the filter spectrum and the lamp spectrum. With the 'slider' you can determine how large the area should be which is
covered by the filter. The RA value can be seen below the resulting spectrum. Values from R1 to R14 fade in when
you move the mouse over the comparison colours. Here you can remove a colour filter which has been inserted or
adopt the current selection.
Until you press the button "Adopt" the luminaire you have selected
will not be changed and so no colour filter will have been inserted.

Lighting scenes

Lighting scenes

You can create as many lighting scenes as you wish for your projects. In each scene you can use different luminaires
or different settings of the luminaires for the lighting installation. Multi-channel settings for luminaires may also be
included in the light scenes. You do not have worry about control groups: DIALux calculates automatically how the
luminaires should be distributed so that there are no conflicts between the lighting scenes due to contradictory
dimmer setting.
The first lighting scene is set automatically for you. If you do not make any changes to this, all luminaires will be
calculated with 100% luminous flux in one single lighting scene.
Generating a lighting scene for one zone
Using this function, with one click you can generate a lighting scene in which only those luminaires are used in the
selected room or zone in order, for example to achieve a calculation result for one room only without the influence
from external light sources. No other luminaires in this lighting scene are taken into consideration. Of course you can
continue to edit and change this " room lighting scene".
Duplicating lighting scenes
With this function you can generate new lighting scenes. An already existing lighting scene which has been
generated automatically by DIALux is used as the basis. Changes can be made to the copy, e.g.. different dimmer
settings or different compositions of luminaire groups.

8 Light

Generating new luminaire groups

Luminaire groups are luminaires which are switched on and off or are dimmed together or which have common
channel settings. Just mark the luminaires concerned and press "Generate new luminaire group". A luminaire cannot
belong to various luminaire groups. since this might lead to contradictory switching or dimming conditions. If you
try to allot a luminiare to a second luminaire group within the lighting scenes, the function will be deactivated. In
this case you must first remove the luminaire from the old luminaire group. To do this, select the luminaire and click
within the luminaire group on the small minus symbol below the CAD. In the same way you can add a luminaire to a
luminaire group.
Active lighting scene
Here you can edit the name and description of the lighting scene.
For larger projects it is of great benefit to allocate names to the
lighting scenes, e.g. "all on", "presentation", "pause", etc.
That makes switching around and finding again much easier.
With the checkbox "Generate output for this lighting scene" you decide whether all the calculation results of this
lighting scene should appear in the outputs. Especially when many lighting scenes have been generated for
presentation purposes it does not always make sense to create all the outputs possible.
Lighting scenes
All the lighting scenes created are listed here. They can be called up with a double click. Alternatively you can
rearrange the lighting scenes at the top of the window and activate them with the button next to them. The creation of
lighting textures for CAD may take a few moments. Room lighting scenes are marked with (S).
New luminaires are always inserted first into the active lighting scene.
Here it is possible to combine lighting scenes which makes sense e.g.for room lighting scenes. Instead of generating
three room lighting scenes and all the combinations of the different lighting scenes, you now need only the three
room lighting scenes. With the help of the check boxes these can be combined and visualised. If required, a
combination of lighting scenes can be saved as a new lighting scene e.g.to be used in the documentation.
Luminaire groups of lighting scenes. Here all the luminaire groups of the active lighting scene are listed. You can
delete (-) or add (+) luminaires from or to the groups, rename or delete the group or set the luminous flux
percentually. With multi-channel luminaires each channel can be set separately. On the right hand side you can see
the symbols for:

updating each of the lighting scenes

setting all the luminaires together to 100% luminous flux
setting all together to 0%
combining luminaire goups with the same dimming values into one new luminaire group.

Energy consumption
In the course of your planning you acquire an overview of how high the current energy consumption of your
installation is or how much energy can be saved. To do this select the option "Display energy tachometer" in
[Light-> Properties tachometer] or select the appropriate option in display options. In addition you can set whether
the LENI(kWh/a/m2) value, the energy consumption (kWh/a) or the costs should be displayed in the tachometer. In
all displays it is possible to set a limit which then becomes a limit value in the tachometer. For the costs you can also

8 Light

61

select a currency. In the energy tool all three values are displayed next to each other. In the energy tool an energy
sensor can also be inserted which takes into account energy saving according to EN 15193. Indicate whether
constant lighting control is available and what kind of presence sensors are used. The energy tacho itself can be seen
below the CAD window until it is deactivated by the user. The tachometer can either take into account the whole
project("Whole") or only the current scene visible in the CAD window ("Current scene"). In this way it is possible to
evaluate and plan single rooms or floor levels. The tachometer also displays the spectrum of possible energy saving
through daylight which is why the display shows a minimal value for maximum saving through daylight and a
maximum value without saving through daylight. Calculation is in accordance with EN 15193.
Data for the period of use of light are gathered from the user profile which you can set for each area. The
geographical and geometrical information is gathered from the project itself.
Remember to indicate latitude and longitude in the site tool.
This information is necessary for calculation according to EN 15193.

9 Start Calculation
With the evo 4, the calculation tool was removed from its mode and integrated into the header.
This makes it possible to start the calculation at any time, regardless of the current view and recently performed
steps.
By default, the buttons are disabled
They are activated as soon as DIALux recognizes that a calculation is possible, that is, either because:
in the light scene tool the reference sky type is not "no daylight" and in addition a window exists.
a luminaire is available in the project.
While calculating the button changes
from "Start calculation" to "Cancel

With the second button you can

discard the results.

Calculation objects
Calculation objects
Here you can position additional calculation objects and set their
calculation parameters. You can position the new calculation
object in the scene using the mouse and "drag & drop" or you can
draw it as a rectangular or polygonal object directly in the scene.
You can define the type of calculation object as usual via "Select".
You allot individual calculation parameters to each calculation object.

Calculation objects

The following options are available for calculation areas:

perpendicular illuminance adaptive. The value to be determined
is not defined on a fixed grid but dynamically in the positions
where relevant changes take place.
vertical illuminance
UGR (Unified Glare Rating)
GR (Glare Rating)
cylindrical illuminance
semi-cylindrical illuminance
hemispehric illuminance
camera-oriented illuminance. For this a camera must be in
place.
Daylight quotient/ratio
free calculation direction
For calculation points the parameters are:

horizontal illuminance
vertical illuminance
UGR (Unified Glare Rating)
GR (Glare Rating)
cylindrical illuminance
semi-cylindrical illuminance

Calculation objects - perpendicular illuminance as the

default

hemispheric illuminance
daylight quotient/ratio
free calculation direction
For some of the parameters it is possible to set further data e.g. height offset or viewing angle.
For calculation areas you set whether the measuring matrix settings should be automatic, with a fixed number of
points or with fixed intervals.

Calculation objects

63

It is not necessary to position a new calculation object

for each type of calculation parameter.
An object can identify , for example, not only the horizontal
but also the cylindrical illuminance.

Visual task areas

With this tool it is possible to set the visual task area in which the current visual
task is carried out according to DIN EN-12464-1.Draw the task area as a rectangle
or polygon in your CAD window. The surrounding area prescribed by the norm
and the background area are generated automatically, can however be edited and
adjusted later. DIALux calculates the maintenance values of the illuminance and its
uniformity on the prescribed illuminance grids. You can find the results calculated
for these areas in the result tool in the documentation under "Summary of results
EN 12464".

Areas of activity
According to DIN EN 12464 - 1, in areas in which activities are carried out, the
median cylindrical illuminance has to be checked in order to guarantee good visual
communication and easy recognition of objects. The height for this test is 1.2 m for
persons sitting and 1.6m for persons standing. You can find the results in the result
tool or in the documentation under "Summary of results EN 12464".

Room main surfaces

DIN EN 12464 requires that the illuminance on the main surfaces within closed
areas is checked. This can be achieved with this tool. We recommend automatic
positioning for empty rooms. If furniture or obstructions conceal the walls, it is
better to create the main surfaces manually. Draw the contours of the relevant area
as a rectangle or a polygon. DIALux generates suitable calculation objects
automatically. The easiest method is to construct the main room surfaces in a 2D
view. Please note that for very small areas no grids are generated if the areas of the
perimeters are greater than of the surface itself.

Results
Result tool
With the result tool you can check the values determined by the calculation. You can use a traffic light system to get
an overview of the results, set individual calculation areas on and off, select spaces for output, and display isolines
and false colors on individual surfaces.

Open result tool

The result of tool can be found right above the CAD window. To hide it in each case with a click on and off. You
can open the result tool in each mode and check the values at any time.

Result filter
The result Tool automatically displays all calculation surfaces that
are available in your particular CAD view. That means you see
e.g. all calculation surfaces of a room, if there is a single room
visible in the CAD and all calculation areas of a storey if you are in the storey view.
That can be a lot of calculation areas
with larger projects. Therefore, you
can hide them separately in the CAD
with the eye - icon. A selection in the
result tool automatically displayes the
corresponding area in the CAD,
regardless of its selected view state.

Isolines and false colors

Storey view

Room view

For each selected area, regardless of

whether virtual calculation surface or
real surface in the room, you can show
or hide isolines or false colors. Select
the object and press the desired action.
Calculation surfaces are automatically
listed in the results tool. With the
action select area you can select real
space surfaces directly in the CAD.
These selected surfaces are also
available in the outputs.

For areas with more than one type of
result, for example, illuminance and
luminance, you need to decide which
of the two results you want to graph by
selecting the corresponding result type.
With the action remove diagram you
turn the illustration off.

Traffic lights system

For large projects, it is difficult to get
an overview of the calculated results.
Here helps the traffic light system. At
most calculation objects you will find a
small icon in the colors red or green.
The target values you set in the profiles
in the assesment zones tool.
Calculation surfaces without given
target value have not such an icon. If
necessary, the lights can be turned off.
For this, go to settings to select
show evaluation.
Details
If you need more information about a result, you can display details with the small arrows in the result tool to the
relevant area and their results.

False colors

False colors
False colors
Global false colors
In DIALux evo great value ranges come to fruition. From outdoor lighting with a few lux over the interior
illumination between 100 and 1000lx, up to decorative illuminations with 2000lx and more. During the quick and
easy interpretation of the calculation results, the false-color view helps. The settings of the false color values are
valid for the whole project, so they are also called "global false color". The set value for a color is used in all
diagrams and views.

False colors settings

You can enable and disable the false
colors in the display options

Low light levels outdoors, high illuminance levels for indoor and floodlighting

You can decide whether DIALux shows illuminances (for virtual

calculation surface and real surfaces) or luminances (for real surfaces
only) to display with false colors.

]
You can also specify whether the false
Switching illuminance [lx] and luminance [cd / m2
colors are softened or with hard edges
and gradations. Smooth transitions are useful for attractive visualization, hard gradations are easier to interpret.
DIALux offers 3 color ranges: Low values, mean values and high values. There are 27 colors available. So most
applications are properly covered, for example, Outdoor lighting, interior lighting and accent lighting.

False colors

69
Should one of these color spaces be
less important for your current project,
or if you want to show more colors in a
range of values, you can set this by
using the sliders:
Use the left slider to change the
lower and middle range.
Use the right slider to change the
middle range and the upper range of
values.
The values in the affected areas are
automatically interpolated.

UGR
UGR
Glare
According to EN 12464-1 the level of direct glare from luminaires of a lighting system has to be determined by the
table of the CIE Unified Glare Rating method (UGR).
This means:
Lb Background luminance in cd/m,
calculated from Eind/ with Eind as
vertical indirect illumination at the
observer's eye. L average luminance in cd
/ m2 of the light-emitting surface of each
light in the direction of the observer's eye.
Solid angle in steradian (sr) of the light-emitting surface of each light relative to the observer's eye. p
Postionsindex by Guth for each lamp, depending on their spatial deviation from the main line of sight.
The UGR values are in the range of 10 ("no glare") and 30 ("unacceptable discomfort glare") graded: 13, 16, 19, 22,
25, 28. The larger the UGR value, the greater the probability of glare. These limits are assigned to specific activities
and spaces, and must not be exceeded.
The change of the UGR value for different observer positions can be determined with the help of advanced UGR
table or by the formula. If the maximum UGR value exceeds the UGR limits in a room information about the
appropriate arrangement of workplaces should be made.

UGR

72

UGR Calculation
For luminaires with direct light a UGR table is automatically generated. You can find these in the luminaire data
sheet of the output. Their required SHR (Spacing to Height Ratio) of 0.25 or 1 you can set in the standard control
(File - Preferences - standards).
For a more detailed analysis, you can place UGR calculation points or UGR calculation areas in the mode
calculation objects.

Mode Calculation objects

In the tool calculation objects you can

select the number of viewpoints on the
step size and the range of viewing
angles.

After the calculation, you can check

the results in the results tool. The
required values from the space profile
are used for comparison. The room
profile can be selected in the assesment
zones tool according to the design
specifications.

UGR tool calculation objects

UGR

73
Note that the values in calculation points and surfaces with the UGR formula be
determined because the exact observer position and orientation of these are well
known. According to EN 12464-1 this is allowed. However, too few studies are
available to confirm the applicability of the limits of this method. The limits for
these technologies are still under discussion.

Outputs UGR
In the outputs you can find a results overview for the calculation areas and
points. The graphic shows the position of the calculation objects.
You can also find a schematic representation for UGR calculation areas, where
is clearly displayed in the location, direction, and the calculated values.
The white circle shows the considered view directions, the gray area the
non-considered area.
Each line in the graph represents a line of sight. If the UGR value for a viewing
direction is above the specified limit, the value is displayed with a red line.
Values below 10 are not shown, values above 30 with shortened, roan lines.The
maximum UGR value for each site can be found at the center of the diagram.
The recommended by the standard grading of the values 10, 13, 16, 19, 22, 25
and 28 are displayed as a scale in the diagram.

Raytracer
During calculation DIALux evo considers diffuse reflectance, mirroring reflectance
and transparent materials. All these properties influence the calculation results. In
CAD lighting textures are generated whose visualisation is very close to reality with
regard to the luminance distribution on the different surfaces. You can move through
the scenes and gain an impression of the light distribution. However, the image is not
very realistic. Glossy finishes are missing, objects are not reflected in mirroring
surfaces and transparent objects appear strangely shallow. To obtain better images
we use the raytracer which is able to visualise camera-dependent effects. The image
is much more realistic. However the raytracer can only produce static images which
we can use, for example, in documentation.

Starting the raytracer

DIALux calculates a realistic image of the scene with the current settings and the
current camera position. The procedure can take some time.

Cancel
The calculation is cancelled. Interim results are also not available.

Save image
You can save the current raytracer image as a JPG, PNG or BMP file on your hard
disc or in another location in your computer network.
Raytracer

Create and save HDR

With the aid of the raytracer DIALUx evo can also generate HDR images (High Dynamic Range). The spread of
luminance which can be displayed by your monitor will seldom achieve absolute reality. The actual illuminance
distribution can however be calculated by DIALuux and saved as a *.exr file and can then be used in other HDR
editing programmes.

Active image
Give your image a name and a description for better orientation in larger projects. You can use both in the
documentation.

Properties - Resolution
On the one hand the resolution determines the size of the newly generated image and, on the other hand, the time
required to calculate the image.
It is advisable to first generate an image with a lower resolution in order to check whether the desired effects are
visible in the image. Only then should a more time-intensive higher resolution be used. The generation of images
with very high resolutions takes up a lot of storage space and requires the appropriate hardware.

Configuring templates
Here you can generate your own templates for use in future
projects. First you create a new template or make a copy of an
existing template. Then you allocate a name and select the
outputs which are to be a part of your new template. Any changes
are adopted automatically. By clicking on "Apply" you use the
new template immediately in your current project. Using "Set as
standard" the new template will be used for future new projects.
Of course the outputs of these projects can be adapted
individually if necessary.

Printing

Please note that the new template does not refer to your current project
but is a general template for future outputs.
Therefore you do not fix, for example, an output for each room
in the

current project

but define an output to be used generally.

If you apply this to a project, then all the rooms will have
the same defined outputs.

On the start screen you start the working area "Street planning chart". This supports you when comparing and
planning street situations in accordance with EN-13201.

Construction
First define the street geometry. DIALux evo
always defines a simple street geometry
automatically. You can define further street
Tabular street planning
geometries in order, for example, to take into
account the different conditions along the
street or road, or duplicate an existing street geometry in order to compare different lighting concepts. All the
different variants are displayed in a column of their own in the overview on the right. When you duplicate a street
geometry, it may be that the existing luminaires are not copied. In order to duplicate a geometry together with the
luminaires, select the function "Duplicate street scheme" under [ Planning - > Duplicate street scheme].
Active street geometry
Under "Active street geometry" you can allocate a name to
the current street geometry and a description. You can also
define the lighting situation.
Street geometry
Under "Street geometry" you can define which geometries
should be displayed in the overview in order to maintain a
clear overview when working on more complex projects.
Street profile
Here you can define the cross section of your street. You can
use as many elements as you wish such as driving lanes,
pavements, cycle paths, parking lanes, grass verges,
emergency lanes or central reserves. New elements are also
inserted at the top of the list. The elements can be moved
using the left mouse button or by using the two arrows in the
list.
Evaluation fields

Construction

Under [Construction => Evaluation fields] you can change

the settings of the evaluation fields. First select the desired
street geometry and the section of the street profile whose
evaluation field you wish to change.

Here you can select the lighting category in accordance with CIE 140 / EN 13201 and set further parameters when
required.
The number of calculation points can also be set automatically (pre-set) or a dot matrix can generated.

12 Road lighting

79

You can also delete and reset the evaluation fields of individual profile sections in order, for example, to create an
evaluation field which spans several sections. To do this you can select several profile sections together.
Of course, such evaluation fields no longer correspond to the
standard

parameters.

In the standard setting there is no evaluation field for the central reserve, for grass verges or parking lanes. These can
however be inserted.
New evaluation fields can only be set
after the old ones have been deleted.

Planning
Luminaire selection
Here you can import the desired luminaires and add them to your street geometry
in a street lighting arrangement.
Of course you can also change the photometric data here.
The luminaire is normally added at the bottom as single-sided arrangement. You
can later change the arrangement according to the street geometry. Thus the
following arrangements are available: single-sided below or above, two-sided or
two-sided staggered. If there is a central reserve in your street geometry then there
is also additionally a central reserve arrangement.
As well as the type of arrangement for your street lighting arrangement you can
also enter here important data for your calculation.
If you wish to optimize according to pole interval, the calculation can be limited by
indicating minimum and maximum values and by indicating the increments. You
can, for example, calculate a luminaire arrangement with pole intervals from 10.00
to 50.00 meters. By defining the increments you select which pole intervals will be
displayed in the results.
The same procedure is available for light centre height, boom angle , and light
overhang.
Street schemes

Evaluation fields

Here you can generate either a new street scheme or duplicate your existing street
scheme together with the respective luminaire arrangement. You can allot a new name to your street scheme and a
suitable description and set the maintenance factor.

12 Road lighting

Overview
Here the street schemes are displayed in a table with their respective street geometries. You can see the standard
boundary values for each valuation field. With the small check box you define whether the boundary value selected
should be used and ideally fulfilled during automatic optimisation.
Please note that, depending on the luminaire used,
on the luminaire arrangement or the street geometry,
not all the required values will be fulfilled.
When you have positioned one or more luminaire arrangements the current values or the required parameters will be
displayed automatically.
The result displayed is not always the best possible result.
Optimisation is required for this.
To attain a better overview in the chart it is possible to cover up the values of individual valuation fields. The values
are still taken into consideration but they are simply not displayed. In the lower section of the individual schemes
you can start up the optimisation of the schemes. To do this, it is of course necessary that a luminaire arrangement
has been put into position. DIALux calculates all possible combinations resulting from your optimisation settings.
The results can be viewed in the result mode.

Result
After optimisation of your street scheme or schemes the results are shown here.
By selecting the scheme on the left hand side you can select the street scheme for which the results should be
displayed.
Normally inadequate results will also be displayed which you can hide by ticking under "Properties. Then only valid
results are displayed. By clicking on the result overview you select a result which you can export via "Export
selected result" and then save. With a double click on a result in the overview you adopt the result in your selected
street scheme.

15 DWG export
Saving a DWG file is done in DIALux evo 5 in five steps.

Change to the export mode and open the DWG export

Selection of light scene and matching 2D or 3D view
Configuration of the DWG layers, layer colors, etc.
Selection of the calculation areas for isolines and value graphics.
Saving DWG file

Step 1 Change to the export mode and open the DWG export:
To export a DWG file you have to select the export mode and activate the third tool (see image
Export_Overview(1)).
From here you can start configuring the DWG.

Export_Overview(1)

Step 2 Selection of light scene and

matching 2D or 3D view:
Basically, evo 5 gives the option to
save results in addition to the geometry
in the form of value graphics and
isolines as own layers.
But as results depend on a light scene,
evo delivers such results always for the
currently selected ligt scene (see image
Export_Overview(2), circled in red ).
If you want to export the results of
multiple lighting scenes, so you have
to switch to the desired light scene and
save another DWG file.

So evo supports one DWG file per light scene.

Export_Overview(2)

Evo 5 operates on the principle: What

you see will also be exported.
In the example below (see image
Export_SetScope3D)
the
storey
"Ground floor" is selected for the 3D
view.
The DWG export will save a DWG file
for the floor as a 3D DWG in this case.
For example, select the view of a
room, so a DWG file is saved only for
this room.
If you want to save the lighting design
for an entire building to a DWG file,

15 DWG export

84

evo will approach level by level when exporting.

This means you get every floor exported in its own layer.
But, if you select a 2D view, for
example, the plan view will be saved
as a 2D DWG file (see image
Export_setScope2D).
Step 3 Configuration of DWG layer,
layer colors, etc.

Export_SetScope3D

After chosing a light scene and a view,

you can configurate the DWG on the
left
side
(see
image
Export_Configuration(1))

Export_SetScope2D

Export_Configuration (1)

On the left you can see the contents

which can be saved for the selected
view later in the DWG file.
Through the ticks you have the option
to select and deselect content and
therefor DWG layer.
You can see directly that the objects
are shown or hidden in the CAD view.
Further you have the option to select a
color for the DWG layer over the color
selction
dialog
(see
image
Export_Configuration(2)).

15 DWG export

85
In the example shown above, the
isolines and their layer would all be
red.
In the table below you can see a list of
all possible DWG layer.
Especially for the lights, the isolines
and the graphic values you can make a
finer
adjustment
using
the
sub-sections.
Luminaires

All luminaires of the view are

Export_Configuration (2)
stored in a single DWG layer
(Default)
For each type of luminaire (product) a DWG layer is crated and the same types of luminaire can be found on a
layer.
For each luminaire arrangement, you have created during your lighting design, a layer is created on which only
the luminaire of this arrangement can be found.
Isolines
There is one layer created per
photometric unit and the isolines
created on this.
Evo 5 determines here initially how
many different lighting units are
available in the visible CAD calculation surfaces (Default).
Example:
In one view, there are three calculation surfaces which provide two horizontal illuminance and one hemispherical
illuminance as a result.
Evo will create two layer. One for the results of the horizontal illuminance and another for the results of the
hemispherical illuminance.
Then the isoline graphics for each calculation surface are created on the appropriate layers.
For every result of a photometric quantity an own layer is produced, in which only one isoline graphic for one result
is shown.
A word of advice:

The isoline and values graphics need some time to generate. If you select the tick for isolines and value graphics,

you will notice no change in the CAD view. These are created later when saving the DWG file.

15 DWG export

86

Value graphics The settings are similar to those of the isolines, only with the difference that values graphics and
isoline graphics
should always be disconnected and can not be exported on a layer together.
Step 4 Selection of calculation areas
for isolines and values graphics
The DWG export will basically save
all visible calculation surfaces in the
DWG file.
There is the option to exclude
individual surfaces from the export on
the results overview.
Hereby you have the option to choose exactly for which areas results will be exported.
To do this first open the result overview (see image Export_Configuration (3))
Via the eye icon you can individual
show or hide calculation surfaces.
Showing and hiding the calculation
areas also appears directly in the CAD.
For surfaces that are visible, results,
isolines and values graphics are
generated.
For areas that are not visible, no results
are saved in the DWG file (see image
Exort_Configuration(4)).

Export Configuration (3)

Export Configuration (4)

Step 5 Saving DWG file:

After configuring the DWG contents
you can save the file by calling the
action "Export to new file",
assign a file name and then press the
"save"
button
(see
image
Export_Final).
Depending on the complexity of the
project, it may take a little time now.
The status bar shows a progress bar
and a message appears when the DWG
file was saved.

Description of the DWG layer

shortcuts The DWG layers exported
by DIALux all begin with the shortcut
DLX_.
DIALux evo automatically numbers
the layer for buildings BLD0_
....BLD3_ and floors FL0_...FL2_ if it
is more than one building, more than
one floor per building designed.
Example:
Building 0 ->Storey 1-> contours
DLX_BLD0_FL1_CONT
