DM Photometrics Feature
Foot-Candle Levels
DM Photometrics calculates the illuminance at every point on your site using IES photometric data files. Each fixture is modeled individually — its photometric distribution, mounting height, and aim point are all factored into the result.
Results are displayed as a color-coded grid overlaid on your AutoCAD drawing. Zones below your minimum target are immediately visible so you can adjust fixture placement or substitution without leaving the drawing.
IES File Support
Reads standard IES photometric data files from any fixture manufacturer — no proprietary format required.
Point-by-Point Calculation
Calculates illuminance at a user-defined grid resolution across the entire project area, including areas under overhangs and near obstructions.
Target Compliance Check
Set a minimum foot-candle target and instantly see which zones meet or fail specification — before submitting for permit.
