Hi Y'all. This is definitely not my first rodeo with BS. If you could please review my vignette for errors, omissions or 'overwork' that'd rule. Cheers.

Incorrect 2x4 light spacing.
Lights are not centered in the studio and conference room.
Uneven HVAC layout in the studio.
Accent lights are too close to the wall. Wall is over lit.

Thanks Sparky83 for the feedback. Could you explain your 2x4 light spacing comment? As a RFF 2x4 'END' fixture the lighting diagram indicates a 2' light radius around the fixture. I typically interpret this as maintain a 2' space (as best you can) from the wall and a 4' space between fixtures in the ceiling plane. Perfect spatial symmetry of systems is also quite difficult to achieve given the way the program auto snaps.

Look again. 2x4s have 2 diagrams.

I am aware of this Coach. So to be clear. in the lighting diagram charts, 2x4 "END" where the the fixture is shown at its long profile (lets say East to West) should actually be placed in the model at a North to South direction for 2' coverage? And vice versa for the "SIDE" view (which would be 3')?

NCARBs own solution doesn't entirely clarify this point. (see File Room v. Architects Office)

6' between long sides and 4' between short sides.

It's incorrect too.

Thank you Coach for clarifying. My thought process on the diagrams was incorrect. NCARBs solution definitely doesn't help either. Cheers.
