VELUX Daylight Visualizer

VELUX Daylight Visualizer is a super handy tool for anyone looking to plan and design spaces that make the most of natural light. In almost every business, there's a computer at work, and this software lets you use it to create all sorts of projects with precision. Accuracy is key here, especially when you’re focusing on how sunlight hits your designs.

Easy-to-Use Interface

The layout of VELUX Daylight Visualizer makes it really easy to get started. Your workspace is divided into different preview sections like top-down views, 3D visuals, and side perspectives. It’s important to note that there aren’t any built-in presets, so you'll need to customize your rooms based on what you need or want.

Create Custom Rooms Effortlessly

Building these custom rooms? It's a breeze! You'll follow a few simple steps stored in tabs for easy navigation. Just keep in mind that if you go back to change something after moving forward, any changes made until that point will be lost unless you save your project.

Precision in Design

Your workspace allows for accurate project creation. Walls snap into guidelines perfectly while showing their length as you place them down. Plus, there’s a ruler tool so measuring distances between points is quick and easy. You can also check out the project properties page filled with area details and surface info which can be printed or saved for later.

Add Your Creative Touch

As you work through the steps of creating your space, you can make custom-shaped rooms along with roofs, locations for windows and doors, and even choose materials! Want more? You can import files from formats like OBJ, SKP, DWG, and DXF too!

Create Stunning Visuals

When you're satisfied with your design, it’s time to explore the rendering features. This part comes packed with options! You can generate still images or animations based on your needs. By mixing different rendering types along with sky conditions and quality settings, you'll create visuals that simulate various lighting scenarios—complete with options for false color or ISO contour rulers to show light intensity.

A Must-Have for Architects

All in all, VELUX Daylight Visualizer is an essential tool for architects wanting to tackle more complex projects. With cities full of buildings blocking out light, it's crucial we design structures that let natural light shine through. Plus, being able to import other 3D objects boosts functionality even further!
