Revit :: Can't Get Hanging Light Fixture To Correct Height
Nov 1, 2011
I have got a split level building with hanging light fixtures in a double height room. The cable is connected to the double height ceiling, but the fixture itself hangs right down to below the split level used in another part of the building. I have set the light fixtures level to higher level, reduced the hanging distance right down, tried change the host, but they still hang below the split level line.
The fixture is the Rectangular Hanging Light Fixture from [URL] ... And the drawing is in millimetres.

I'm use to working with autocad layers.In AutoCAD if I'm drawing electrical plan and floor plan, HVAC...ect I just freeze in viewport the things I don't want to see for that particurler sheet.
In Revit I duplicated my floor plan to create my electrical plan. I can add my recepticals and switchs but it won't let me add light fixture. Do I add the light fixture to ceiling plan then some how move them to my electrical plan?

I am trying to create a light fixture with a head that can rotate in two axis so that the light can aim up or down and left or right.
I have been unable to create a light fixture that can rotate up and down as shown in the Revit help files.
Here is a resume of my two attempts at creating this and the reasons why they failed:
Embedded family solution: The embedded family will not rotate vertically even as a face based fixture hosted on a line reference. If you rotate the line reference in the horizontal axis, the hosted embedded fixture ignores the rotation and does not follow.
Unique family solution: The light source will not move even if it is locked to a reference line, it evokes an error.

I'm trying to loft a base for a light fixture. It's narrowest at the top and bottom, and its widest point is in the middle. classic design.
Can I upload a pdf? I assume if it's available to everyone via a search engine, wouldn't it be ok to upload it? Any thoughts?
I digress. I'm trying to look at the circles from the side, so they form horizontal lines. I thought they'd be easier to offset a distance to.
I tried changing my views around to achieve that effect, but to no avail. UCS is World view. Or View.
One of the images in the .pdf, is of the appearance I'm after in a front view. So that way, I could do an offset distance of one inch, but as things stand now, that wouldn't work either.
It wouldn't work in this view projection, I think was what the wording was; or close to it.
The only view I was able to do any offsets in was the Top view IIRC, but that just gave me a bunch of concentric circles with no height. At least they were offset.

Am just starting to explore Revit and was trying to add some lights to my building to play with some renders. When I try and load anything from within the 'lighting fixtures' however, I am met with the message:
"There is no tag loaded for lighting fixtures, do you want to load one now?"
I have explored a number of other family types, walls, doors, windows, kitchen and bathroom etc and never had this message/error occur.

how to apply a filter to a Floor Plan to color code my Walls by Unconnected Height for coordination purposes?
I want to disseminate which walls are currently modeled to deck and which ones stop short so I can selectively coordinate this.
This seems completely logical, but I don't see the option to allow this.
Why does Revit allow me to schedule the Length of a Wall, but not it's Height - am I missing something?

I am using Autodesk Revit Architecture 2013. I am using mirror project from the manage pulldown under position. I have used this tool many times in the past with success. This particular home is an average size two story. The file is about 40Mb. I tried flipping the home and Revit gets to about 29% and stopps. I let it run for an hour over lunch, even over night and no luck. I tried the same house on another computer running Autodesk Revit Arch. 2013 and it did the same thing.
I tried purging the file, I made sure nothing was locked, I even got rid of my grouped items. I tried copying the plan into another "fresh" file with nothing extra (like title blocks or other families).
I do have some floor framing shown in this plan. I used structural 2x10s to produce the framing (I did try getting rid of the framing and it didnt work). I tried turning off the roof lines (it has about three reverse gables) and nothing.

How do I use the standard Revit can lights in a wood joist floor with drywall applied to the bottom? If I place in a suspended ceiling, can lights light up just fine. However, if I use them in the floor space of a wood joist floor, the light itself gets covered with the floor. How can I get the light to cut the floor out so I can see the light when it is rendered?

Fiddling around with schedules, I found a workaround to set the row height. Simply:
1 - Add a field which doesnt' contain any data to the schedule;
2 - In the schedule view, select the field's column and in the appearance tab, define a font size to whatever size of rows you would like.
3 - When you now add the schedule to a sheet, you can see that the height of each row is bigger
4 - If you selected to show gridlines, you can define the newly added column in the schedule view to have no borders
And that's my workaround. It's way better than adding spaces and adjusting widths.

With no luck, I have been trying to figure out how to insert a blank value for ceiling heights in a finish schedule. There are other rooms with blank values, however it appears that rooms that once had a ceiling can no longer have a blank value. From the research I've done it seems the only way to correct this may be to delete and recreate the room.

Need to make a wall with varying height. For example, 3000mm at one end and 4000mm at the other. The result would be a sloped ceiling and roof. Should I make a 'mass' and attach a wall to it or is there a way to vary the height of an existing wall?

Ive got a problem with creating elevations. When I create an elevation on my floor plan - in this instance level 5 of my 30 storey building I open up the elevation and see the attached view. Its crop region is only 3mm high and therefore only shows me the floor of level 5 instead of the whole elevation of level 5 to the underside of the level 6 slab.

I cant find a way of suppressing the height figured numbers (to replace with GFL and 1FL) . Prefix and suffix do the text ok but for appearance sake (ie client requirement) want to change lots ov spot heights to surpress the numbers. How can I do this - I realise its a system family but usually there are some params - not on this family though?

I am trying to control the height of the camera for a walkthrough so that I can go up stairs. I know that I can activate the "Mini Tour Building Wheel" and can do it that way but it is very clunky to use and I don't always get the right angles. Is there a simple way to control each key frame's heights like you normally would a camera (eye and target elevations)?

We are creating a parametric family for our window product. We have managed to create maximum constraints for both height and width. However combined with the maximum height and width we have a maximum area alllowance. We are struggling to find a way to build this into our parametric family. How this might be achieved? Is it possible to display warning text boxes within Revit?

I'm building a PEMB frame family partly to teach myself and because none of the ones I could find online match the ones I'm working with. It's been a bumpy road but I've gotten the family to the point where there are parameters and elements for the flange, web, baseplate & girts.
Where I've run into a problem are the bracing flanges. The flange at the top of the column was simple enough since it's always horizontal but the beam braces are all 90 deg to the top chord. Any refrence plane or reference line drawn from the intersection of the bottom & column chords to the top chord does not move with the other chords when the family types are changed. I applied a 90 deg angular dimension constraint between the top chord and the bracing flange but when I change the pitch of the top chord by increasing the Ridge Height Revit gives me a warning message that the constraint is no longer satisfied instead of rotating the flange!

I am new to Revit and am currently looking at bringing in a road alignment as a dwg file from autoCAD. I can bring it in ok and it appears in some of my levels and elevations (still not sure how to properly control them) but how can I set up corresponding levels and grids for my road whilst keeping the roads original coordinates?

I read a 2009/10 thread, "Rotating lighting", describing how to work around the problem of family lighting fixture members not rotating. I would hope there is a better solution today.
I simply want to place a lighting fixture - std 2x4 flourescent, on a 7 deg sloped ceiling. The axis of rotation is the long run of the light fixture. Is this not possible in Revit 2013?
Or, do I have to dredge up the work around from 3 releases ago and attempt to discern how to make it work?
It seems like I should just be able to set the family to use a work plane-based assignment and then place it with the correct work plane active. That is not happening. The light fixture doesn't want to rotate the 7 degrees to align with the work plane.

I find the visibility parameter a very useful option when building families. Unfortunately it doesn't work when exporting IFC. The elements set to not visible are visible in the IFC exports.
I also experienced IFC export issues with the use of phases.An element created at phase 1 and set to demolished at phase 2, will not be visible in the IFC export of phase 1.
The IFC Exporter for Revit 2012 v1.0.4.msi was used when running into these issues.How to be able to have correct IFC exports using the visibility parameter ?
