hmgirl active Joined: Sun, Apr 13, 2008 3 Posts No Rating	question 2...i have a sloped ceiling drawn and when i droped lights or ceiling tags on the sloped ceiling it cuts the lights and tags in the direction of the slope in half, ie. the tags are now half circles and the linear light fixture only show half the fixture?? I thought revit automatically attached lights to the ceiling but when I view it in 3d it appears that my lights and tags are fixed horizontally and not on the slope of the ceiling???

Open your light family and under settings / family category and parameters, uncheck the "always vertical" box. Now you can rotate the light to match your ceiling angle.
