Upload a Model

• Using the + icon on the top of your screen to import a new file
• Different file types that can be imported into LightStanza

Run Bulk Simulations in LightStanza

• Starting from the home folders page where you have all your designs you can click the check mark in the bottom left hand corner to include it in your bulk simulation
• All new simulations are listed in the activity bar following completion

Use the Materials Panel

• Using the paint bucket from the tool bar on the left you able to view the materials in your drawing
• Can edit the material within the panel as well as adding new material to your drawing
• Shows the reflectance value of each material

Simulate a Rendering/Animation

• Use the view points you created in your Sketchup model or create your own view
• Use the activity bar and click new to run a rendering
• How to change the settings when rendering

Share Results

• Ability to share full designs, 3D reports and 2D reports
• Can share the designs either in the view only mode or allow them access to edit your design

Navigate the 3D Viewer

• How to use the tool bar at the top when in the 3D viewer
• Demonstrates how to use the share button and to import a new drawing
• Also how to use the commands such as orbit to navigate through your space

Use the Comparison Tool in LightStanza

• Ability to compare the performances of different daylight strategies
• Comparison button can be found at the top of your activity bar
• Splits your screen into two then you can choose any simulation to compare from your activity panel

Use the Blinds Panel

• Blinds tool is similar to the material tool. Both found in your panel on the left
• Using the paint bucket under the blinds section you have the ability to assign different types of blinds to your space
• Ability to have the blinds always open, always closed or operate dynamically

Simulate Point-in-Time Grid Illuminance

• Navigate to the activity panel and click new then grid calculation
  • When doing a single point in time you have the ability to change the time and the date of the simulation
  • When doing a simulation for one day you choose the date as well as the time range for the simulation to run. This creates a daylight animation.

Download Results

• Renderings and animations can be downloaded from the 3D viewer and the report
• Downloads come in as a zip file containing many different file formats
