Exporting rooms to DIALux   

Export Rooms to DIALux Command allows user to create a *.STF file containing the boundaries of rooms defined using the Define rooms command from the CADprofi Architecture module .

The created file will contain ready-made room boundaries compatible with the DIALux program , so after opening it we will receive a ready-to-use outline of our building or room.

Working in DIALux

Saving in *.STF format allows user to open the file directly as a DIALux project . To do this, change the file format in the Open window .

After opening the file exported from CADprofi, the exported rooms will be visible along with their names placed in tags.

It is recommended to import a *.dxf/*.dwg drawing with a similar project into such an opened file.

Hint
In the peak import options, select the appropriate unit and the World Coordinate System as the initial planning location with the default X, Y, and Z values of 0.

After selecting the luminaires and designing the lighting in the DIALux program, the entire project should be saved again in the *.STF format.
