Light Distribution

From the Autodesk App Store:

Distribute Lighting fixtures and devices (including communication devices)  in rooms in Rows and Columns and automaticly allign the distribution to room orientation/rotation by selecting Room/Space or by pre-input 3 consecutive Points (3 Corners of Room) :

•  Base-point is the first corner of Rectangular Array (Room).
•  Second-Point allows you to get the x-axis and the y-axis and the distance between each item.
•  Third-Point is the second corner of Rectangular Array (Room).

• It's recommended to use the manual 3 Point method with Rooms with special shapes and geometry (circle , ellipse, etc..)
• Useful in the distribution of Lighting, Sensors and communication devices

The 2 methods of destribution are

1.  X and 2 X spacing: the distance between the elements and each other is double the distance between the elements and the borders
2. Equidistant spacing: the distance between the elements and each other is equal to the distance between the elements and the borders
