		rfa and type catalog By downloading the RFA and Type Catalog zip file will allow you to place a family in your project and pick the instances of that family. You can choose from 100's of different models and dimensions. So, you can import the instances that are important to you, keeping your project clean and tidy.

		IES lighting data IES files are photometric data files associated with lighting fixtures. They are used to accurately model how light is cast and rendered from a given fixture. Revit requires that all IES files associated with a model are located in the same place. The proper locations to download and save the files to are: Revit 9.1: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Autodesk\Revit Building 9.1\Rendering\AccuRenderRedist\SUPPORT\lights Revit Systems 2: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Autodesk\Revit Systems 2\IES Revit Architecture 2008: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Autodesk\RAC 2008\IES Revit MEP 2008: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Autodesk\RME 2008\IES Revit Architecture 2009: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Autodesk\RAC 2009\IES

Photometric IES


Welcome to the Solatube® Photometrics and lighting resources. What are Photometrics? Photometrics "Photo" means light & "Metric" means measurement. Describes light output for a specific fixture & light source combination. Here you will find many useful links and documents to help determine how Solatube® can help light your interior space. Downloads and Links Solatube® .IES photometric cutsheet and lumen output tables Download or view the Solatube® Photometric cut sheet and lighting table outputs. Click here to dowload. Solatube® .IES file The .zip file contains the Photometric files in IES format for the typical 10” (250 mm), 14” (350 mm) and 21” (530 mm) diameter Solatube® skylight / tubular daylighting devices, and are suitable for use in any standard lighting simulation / design tool. Use these files in conjunction with the appropriate lumen output data as contained and described in the Solatube® IES Photometric cutsheet and lumen output tables. (extracted file will be .ies files). Click here to download.		Sample lighting program output with Solatube® .ies File Actual office post installation
