    The light beams do not have to be drawn for calculations to be made.

  4. Click to place the object in the drawing, and click again to set the rotation.

The first time you use the tool in a file, a properties dialog box opens. Set the default properties, and click OK. The properties can be edited from the Object Info palette.

After placing the photometer, set its Z value from the Object Info palette; illumination values vary depending on the photometer’s elevation.
