AGi32 for the win!

I have been a user of AGi32 for over 15 years. It has been great. I have learned so much and become a better designer with the use of this software.

Functionality

Pros:

Integrating renderings are easy to use. This program is multi-functional as I do work in the Roadway Lighting design industry too. I can complete all of my design calculations in one program.

Cons:

The least ideal feature of this software is that all of the elements (drawing, calculation points, luminaires, and 3D models) cannot be moved all together. They have to be moved individually.

Vendor Response

Thank you for the review, Carrie - and for being a customer for 15 years! We truly appreciate it.

Fantastic Photometrics in an Awkward Interface

Over the past 15 years, I have used AGi32 to analyze lighting solutions for a wide variety of building types. AGi32 has been an indispensable tool.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

AGi32 has set the standard for complete and accurate lighting calculations for three decades. Luminaire data is easy to import and analyze from any industry standard photometric data format Room geometry can be created quickly and even traced from imported cad or PDF backgrounds. A variety of rendering options including pseudo color allow the results to be analyzed visually. Images of renderings are exported in standard image formats, and calculation results can be exported in CAD and Excel.

Cons:

The modeling tools are limited and lag far behind 3D modeling software standards. It is difficult and awkward to model complex 3D geometry. The ability to import models from Sketchup is a saving grace, but individual surface properties still need to be set one at a time. The with button Icons are reminiscent of Windows 3.1 shareware programs from the 1990's.

Thank you for the review, Nate! We will share your feedback with our team.

Pros:

Customer service/tech support is exceptional. They are quick to respond and explain in an understandable way. Software is easy to use and numerous trainings are available.

Cons:

Sketch Up used to have an add-on to integrate with AGI32 but no longer does. Projects with numerous fixtures/lots of modeling bogs down AGI32.

Vendor Response

Thank you for the positive review, Jen! We are so happy to hear that our software, training and support is meeting your needs.

Pros:

Having used AGi32 since 1995, I have found it a useful daily tool in imparting a better lighting performance story beyond the mere empirical.

Cons:

My limited skills using ACAD sometimes handcuffs me in updating projects. This isn't necessarily an AGi32 issue, but easier integration (at least for me) would be useful.

Reasons for switching to AGi32

Product line changes.

Pros:

I have been using this software from it's inception and have 12 full time employees using it everyday. It works.

Cons:

This software will be obsolete soon. We live in a 64 bit world and this is a 32 bit program It is a struggle to get it to work many times without crashing. Elum Tools is a joke that has little to offer the normal agi user that has little or no revit knowledge nor the need to learn it.

AGI32 makes lighting design seamless. The Instabase makes finding many fixtures for your project easy. If a fixture is not there, it is also simple to pull the ies files from a manufacturer's website to add them to your project. Building rooms or buldings are also very easy.

Cons:
