      TracePro Overview  0dh#/  
    M*H< n*  
    Like LightTools, TracePro is an solid-modeling based illumination modeling program with a Windows-based interface and CAD import/export capability K6(.KEW  
    1uC;$Aj6:  
    TracePro modeling capabilities are similar to LightTools but with significant weaknesses that make it harder to use and less flexible, and is especially limited in 3D texture modeling compared to LightTools &GU@8  
    +',^((o  
    TracePro analysis features are similar to LightTools, but LightTools is much stronger as an interactive design AND analysis tool

    Misc. Comparisons, LT vs. TP ,:v.L}+Z  
    V<7R_}^_7  
    Some large CAD models consume 20-30% more RAM and more CPU time in TP vs. LT fKPiRlLS  
    ZmEG<T05  
    TP CAD import repair feature much slower than LT JN{<oxI  
    \?bwm&6+r  
    Inability to edit properties of Booleaned objects in TP (easy and unlimited in LT) ?l6>6a7  
    HF*j`}  
    Luminance meter simulation is simple approximation in TP, much more flexible and accurate in LT 1 ;cv-W  
    C_;HaQiu  
    Most operations in LT can be done by mouse, by numeric input, or any combination (fewer TP features are mouse-enabled) &Pmc"9Rl

    LT online help is extensive and useful, but very limited in TP l84h%,

    ORA Tech Support for LT is by a dedicated team or experience illumination and optical engineers

    3D Texture Comparisons 1Pud,!\%q  
    YWt"|  
    3D texture modeling more flexible and much faster to ray trace in LT vs. TP Jo6~r-  
    q`/amI0  
    LT (5.1) has flexible features to parametrically vary all 3D texture features (spacing, size, angles, depth, etc.) by equation or by direct “placement lists” imported from spreadsheet or other software Ft3N#!ubl  
    tb-OKZq  
    When optimization is available in 2005, these parametric textures will make it much easier to design backlight systems
