I have a hexagonal room (8 surfaces incl walls, roof and floor) and an object consisting of 3 stacked boxes of different sizes sitting on top of each other, 18 surfaces). The luminaire is against on the the walls of the room. I would expect the simulation to run for 8+18=26 surfaces. In fact the simulation indicates it is working through 27 surfaces. I am guessing that the single room metric I have counts as the 27th. Is that correct?
The box surfaces are allocated as 'white' material. This means that part of the top surfaces of the lower boxes are largely 'hidden' by the box above, and part of the surfaces are 'unhidden'. Would one expect LUMOS to simulate the variation of irradiance across such a top surface? My aim is to measure irradiance at the unhidden part of the top facing surfaces of each of the stacked boxes. Since it takes a long time for the simulation - I thought I'd ask before working on this.
