This research study explores utilizing DIALUX lighting software to convert 2D AutoCAD drawings of an office space into realistic 3D environments showcasing light and shadows. With the click of a button, flat CAD floor plans can be populated with lights, shadows, material textures, and background views that completely transform them. This photorealistic transformation enables architects and designers to instantly visualize and evaluate how different lighting designs and placements will appear in the actual office. Rather than relying solely on abstract CAD plans, DIALUX gives specifiers the power to make lighting an integral part of the design process from inception. This paper provides guidelines for seamlessly connecting AutoCAD and DIALUX to rapidly iterate lighting schemes for enhanced 3D visualization of office spaces
