And then of course we can use artificial lighting. Now, artificial lighting are just component families. So it's not a separate tool that you use to add lighting than you do to add the fixtures. Simply adding a light fixture component to your model will bring along all of its lighting information as well. This makes it really convenient because the same light fixtures that your team is using for documentation and design purposes will ultimately be the ones that will be used to render the scene. So it really supports a BIM workflow in that sense where all of the lighting information is in a single source element. Now the kind of element is just a…
