I. General Notes:
 
1. The .ies photometric data file is not included in this Revit family file (.rfa), however, it is available through the website listed above. These files can deliver accurate results for photometric study and, in many cases, offer realistic rendering. In other cases, these absolute .ies files may not offer the best solution for rendering because of factors such as housing geometry and the photometric center of the .ies file. In such cases, changing the .ies file to one/or more alternative light sources may create a better rendering.
2. All Cerno .rfa files may contain minor reductions in geometric complexity. Such reductions are typically internal components or small external elements that would generally not be noticeable in renderings
3.  All Cerno Revit Materials are digital representations and can vary slightly from real-world products.
4. Cerno makes no representation of the completeness or accuracy of any photometric analysis performed with a Family. The visual and calculative performances of Revit models are only as accurate as permitted by the quality of third-party provided .ies files and the performance and stability of Revit itself and any associated third-party software/plugins


II. Family-Specific Notes (Calx Outdoor Sconce):


    Note: Family-specific notes are often (but not always) associated with parameters listed in the Family's Type Editor.


1. The Revit Family for the Calx Outdoor sconce has none of the internal components modeled. These components would be visible when the model is viewed from directly above or below after it is mounted on a wall.
2. There are some slight imperfections in the revit family. The most important one is the crease at the front of the shade where the model is “folded”. This imperfection is small and only noticeable up close. 
3. The inside of the model is normally hollow except for the internal components (which are not in the revit family), however in the revit family there are thin extrusions inside. These are artifacts from the creation of the revit family and are not present in the true model. These extrusion artifacts are not noticeable.
