BIM Workflow between DIALux and Vectorworks: Make your lighting design even more efficient

From now on, you benefit from a new level of interoperability between DIALux evo and the globally established BIM and design platform Vectorworks. Thanks to the open IFC standard, you can exchange data seamlessly and effortlessly integrate your professional lighting design into comprehensive building models. This saves you time and makes collaboration with MEP engineers, architects, and landscape architects much easier.


BIM Models for Smooth Collaboration


Vectorworks is one of the world’s leading design and BIM solutions, used in more than 85 countries across architecture, interior design, landscape architecture, design, and entertainment. Through the direct connection with DIALux evo, you can now exchange BIM models quickly and easily. This ensures your project data remains consistent and strengthens collaboration with all stakeholders throughout the entire planning process.

Dieter Polle, Managing Director of DIAL GmbH, explains: “Our goal is to establish DIALux as a reliable partner for all aspects of lighting design throughout the entire project lifecycle. To achieve this, we are creating interfaces to all major CAD programs. The collaboration with Vectorworks is an important milestone on this journey.”


Open for future collaborations


With the release of DIALux evo 13, DIAL has made the specifications of the interface available to all interested software providers. Since the integration is based on IFC and BIM methodology, other BIM platforms can also develop their own workflows with DIALux. For you, this means even more opportunities for a connected, efficient, and collaborative digital planning process.
