- Draw a planar surface where you want your Illuminance Grid to be. A helpful tip is to make a copy of the floor and move it up to workplane height (30″ or 760mm above the floor), or to the height at which you wish to measure light.
- Illuminance grids can be standard horizontal, vertical, or diagonal.
- Set the name of the material assigned to this surface to include the string “lsgrid” or “ls_grid”. For example, with a material name of “lsgrid Office 1”, the grid in LightStanza will be named “Office 1”. Note that you can put all your grids on the same Rhino layer, and assign a material to that layer following this rule – however, note that if done this way all grids will have the same name in LS.
- Export your model in Collada (.dae) format (you can do this via the “Save As” menu in Rhino), and drag-and-drop the .dae file into LightStanza, or use the “New Design -> Import File” option from the folders page. The illuminance grids you made will appear under Imported Grids inside of the Illuminance Grids tab in the left toolbar.
