ElumTools™ is the first fully integrated lighting analysis Add-in for Autodesk® Revit®. Leveraging content already present in the Revit model such as geometry, material properties, and lighting fixture families, ElumTools can calculate illuminance on any surface or workplace using the lighting industry’s standard radiosity calculation method.

Interactive visualization is provided during the calculation process allowing detailed navigation of the illuminated scene. Numeric results are visible in any Revit view and all statistics are available to Revit schedules.

New Photometric Format Support:

1. TM-32 Format: ElumTools now includes expanded compatibility for TM-32 Building Information Modeling data, allowing you to import and analyze family files provided by manufacturers who use this format.
2. TM-33 Format Support: Access to More Detailed Data. TM-33 includes advanced photometric and spectral information, enabling more nuanced and accurate lighting calculations. 
3. Industry-Standard Compliance: Supporting TM-33 ensures that ElumTools projects are up to date with evolving lighting standards, making design workflows more future-proof and compatible with multiple manufacturers. 
4. Streamlined Workflow: By loading TM-33 files directly, users can minimize conversion steps, reduce data loss, and maintain a single source of truth for advanced photometric properties.

Bug Fixes & Improvements:

1. Layout Assistant Calculation Error: Resolved bug where the Layout Assistant would sometimes display an error or crash during calculation.
2. Layout Assistant Checkboxes Misaligned: Corrected the user interface so that the Layout Assistant dialog checkboxes are now properly aligned, improving overall usability.
3. License Manager Cropped: Fixed a display bug causing parts of the License Manager window to appear cropped, ensuring all licensing fields and options remain visible and accessible.

Notes:

• TM-32 provides an industry format for Building Information Modeling data, broadening ElumTools’ interoperability with manufacturer data.
• TM-33 support complements existing compatibility with other standard photometric formats (IES, EULUMDAT), offering designers a broader range of lighting data integration.
• The above fixes enhance stability and user experience within the Layout Assistant and License Manager across all supported versions.

ElumTools offers a 14-day trial for users interested in exploring its capabilities as a fully integrated lighting calculation add-in for Revit.

Key Features of the ElumTools Trial:

• Full Functionality: The trial version provides complete access to all features, allowing you to perform point-by-point illuminance calculations directly within Revit.

• Integration with Revit: ElumTools leverages existing Revit geometry, material properties, and lighting fixture families to compute accurate lighting results without needing external exports or imports.

• Interactive Visualization: During the calculation process, ElumTools offers an interactive radiosity-based visualization, enabling designers to navigate and understand the interaction of light within the modeled environment.
