closing the dialog, or click OK to move the insertion
point and close the Transformation dialog.

Right-click in the Graphic window, then choose
Return to Full Model.
Note: If you have already inserted instances of a
luminaire into your model, you should be careful
about changing the insertion point of the luminaire
definition because it will cause the relocation of all
instances of that luminaire. Typically the positioning
of the insertion point is done when you first create
the luminaire.
Setting Luminaire Icon Size
In large models, you may need to enlarge the icon size
to see it properly. The default icon size is 1.
Changing the size of the icon does not affect the
brightness of the luminaire.
To set the luminaire icon size for all luminaires in
your model:
1.
Choose File | Properties.
The Document Properties dialog appears.
2.
On the Display panel, drag the Luminaire Icon
Size slider to the appropriate value.
Note: You can set the luminaire icon size to any
value between 0.05 and 100.00.
3.
Click OK.
The luminaire icons are resized.
Note: A luminaire icon is visible only when the lumi-
naire is selected.
Querying Luminaire Instances
Use the Query Instance command to highlight every
instance of a luminaire in the Graphic window and
display the luminaire’s properties on the status bar.
You can query instances of multiple luminaires.
▲
You can query instances of a luminaire in both
the Preparation stage and the Solution stage.
To query instances of one luminaire:
1.
In the Luminaires table, right-click a luminaire,
then choose Query Instances
.
Every instance of the luminaire is highlighted in the
Graphic window.
In addition, the following information regarding the
queried luminaire appears on the status bar:
• Source type
• Distribution type
• State of the ray trace, shadows, and store direct illu-
mination options
• Number of instances in the model
• Name.
In the Solution stage, if one of these settings is
different for one or more instances of the selected
luminaire, that information does not appear on the
status bar.
Note: If the status message is too long to fit in the
Graphic window, the message is cut off. To see the
full message, simply resize the Graphic window.
