Unlock LightTools’ Full Potential with the Example Model Library

Did you know that you can get a head start designing real-world applications in LightTools with this one built-in feature?

Installed with every version of LightTools is an assistant you should get to know – the LightTools Example Model Library.

Real-World Application: Configuration Manager Example

Within the general categories, you’ll find more specific groupings and models, each of which has an accompanying document that explains the what the model contains, the features you will use, and how to step through the example. Many examples have a model for the starting state and another that shows the end result.

How does this work?

For example, let’s work with the Configuration Manager example in the Program Features. The steps below show you how to set the options you need to create four configurations.

Evolving Your Skills with Each Release

With the Example Model Library, you’ll explore LightTools’ extensive design and analysis capabilities as you discover and practice using its functionality. And with new examples added every release, you can quickly learn how to use new features and be more productive. Try it out, and get a head start designing your next illumination application.
