Working plane inset + multiple task area

Post by cdumontier »

Is it possible to have a working plane without inset, or a reduced one. By default, there's a 0.5m inset from the room's boundary.
Also, I'd like to create multiple task area, but I can't even get to activate the button. I'd like to get percentage of threshold area for different zone without creating different rooms. I guess that wouldn't be too much of a problem, but I'd like not to have multiple rooms.

Dear cdumontier,

The 'Add task area' button gets activated when you reached the 'Illumination' display mode for the particular surface.

It seems like you have not attended the "IES Training Program" for" 'Lighting" modules , if not I would highly recommend you to go for it.
I have added a link to access "IES Training Calendar".

Thanks & Regards ,

Just an additional note here, to remove the 0.5m default margin you just have to edit this setting in the Lighting Analysis parameters dialog Margin section.
