New ElumTools Training - Professional Lighting Design within Revit

I am excited to announce a new live online training series I will be doing with Lighting Analysts, Inc. (Revalize) on ElumTools... the professional lighting design add-in for Autodesk Revit.

Here are the two sessions:
  • Introduction to Revit and ElumTools for Lighting Designers (4 hours)
  • Basic ElumTools for Interior and Exterior Lighting (4 hours)


keep reading to learn more...

Are you involved in lighting design and need to get up to speed on Autodesk Revit and/or ElumTools? We have two training sessions coming up to accommodate both topics!

The first is a beginners crash course in Revit that is optimized for the professional lighting designer, i.e. focused on tools and workflows required to navigate a Revit model and create a simple space.

The second is an intermediate look at using ElumTools, a Revit add-in, for interior and exterior lighting calculations.

These sessions are live via Zoom and will be repeated every few months to accommodate schedules.

NEW! Revit Content Creation for Lighting Designers 
To ensure users are taking advantage of all the amazing tools the ElumTools application offers, renowned Revit author and blogger, Dan Stine, hosts a NEW Revit Content Creation training course. Though the emphasis of this session would be on creating good lighting fixture content in Revit, the results will be reviewed in ElumTools. Items will be reviewed in a simple, provided model.

Handouts and datasets:

Both sessions include a handout with valuable information you can use later. The second session also comes with a dataset that includes Revit models and resource files to continue practicing and learning after the live training.

Session one, Revit training and ElumTools into, comes with a nearly 100 page handout that includes relevant chapters from one of my Revit textbooks and an ElumTools handout I created for presentations I have given on ElumTools in North America and Europe.

The second session, ElumTools for Interior and Exterior lighting design, comes with a detailed ElumTools tutorial and supporting dataset.

Below, are a few sample images from the handouts.




Sign up soon, as space is limited. However, if you don't make it or have a conflict you might notice the second session is already posted for May!
