ElumTools "no valid luminaires in Area

If you see below, I am trying to produce a lighting analysis in Revit 2023 using the ElumTools Add-in. I was able to get something to produce earlier today, however, when I went to make some changes I got this error message when trying to calculate the footcandle points. I was making changes to the lighting family and the illumination settings and don't know what transpired. Please keep in mind if explaining something to me in a response, this is my first time using this software(usually in Civil 3d) and I don't know the locations/process of most things in here.

I have an "area" defined as the whole project site, and have light poles in the spots where we are proposing them so what am I missing?

To add a light source to a family

 

  1. Insert family into Revit from Jacobs content lab

 

  1. Right click the placed family and select "edit family"

 

  1. When in family editor select the following:

  1. In the ribbon at the top the modify tab shall allow for "light source definition" - select the below parameters. Please note for linear fittings select the line, for modular select rectangle and for downlights select either the circle or spot depending on luminaire output.

Note, sometimes the light source is located far away from the luminaire, please ensure that the light source is aligned to the fitting by checking the side elevations.

  1. Select “Load into project and close”. Pop up windows will then appear, click the following:
    1. Don’t save
    2. Overwrite family and parameter values

  1. In Elumtools select Luminaire manager and then click the folder next to the fitting in the table or “photometric file”

  1. Add your IES from the folder location and this should then happen.

Note the tilt of my fitting is out of place so to fix this go into the family and rotate the light source so that it is 90 degrees in line with fitting
