Photometric analysis - never done before

[jordanQBH5G]

Hello, I need some assistance. I usually work in Civil3D designing sites and subdivisions for construction of the ground/underground infrastructure. I have now been tasked with producing a photometric analysis for a lightpole layout of site, and haven't the first clue how to achieve this. Are there some step by step videos for how to achieve this? I have been trying to work off some other videos and an example however with how different revit is from Civil3D, it's not proving to be easy. I have started a project from the Architectural template, linked the CAD layout to the model in revit, found a lighting family that I was able to edit one of the lights in to what I think is the necessary specs. I drug those into the layout and would like to perform a foot candle analysis of those lights in the layout, but I cannot figure out how to do this.

Install Lighting Analysis for Revit if you don't have it already.

Okay, no I don't see that on my tool bar. Where do I find that to download? Is it free if I already have revit? I am updating to Revit 2023 right now. Would that automatically come with it?

Open Autodesk Desktop App, log in with your Autodesk account and you should be able to download the add-in.

Unfortunately I was not able to locate any add-ins for the Revit 2018 that is on my computer and the 2023 download that I have says that I cannot run an analysis because I don't have any credits available.... Would you mind further assisting to find the add-in for 2018 so I can see if I can run it on there?

I only see download for 2021 as the oldest available.  Sorry.
