Hi! I'm new to revit, and I know that this subject has been delt with in this forum lot's of times, but after reading through as many threads as I could find on the subject, I'm still stuck... I figured out, that to fight lightning without a ceiling, I need to make a new family and host it elsewhere... but how do I create a new familiy and then load the lightning component that I want to use in to it ? Or should I duplicate the component and then host it elsewhere (and how do I rehost it then) ?? Thx /jw

Hi. Thx for the response, really great video. Is it possible to load a lamp that has already been drawn ? Fx. the lamp I've attached, it's ceiling based, but I can't figure out how to change it, so that I can attach it wherever I want. Is it only possible to do if you create and draw up a whole new family ? thx's for the help so far ! /jw

I'm really not getting this whole ceiling thing ...
Anybody know of a tutorial that explain in detail the need-to-know-stuff about ceilings in revit ?
I've tried to create a normal ceiling, but no matter which ceiling view I choose, I get the same message:
"None of the created elements are visible in Reflected Ceiling Plan: (01) Stue terræn View. You may want to check the active view, its Parameters, and Visibility settings, as well as any Plan Regions and their settings."
Thx's

Hi Typhoon! Thanks alot for the videos, they helped me out bigtime! Can I rotate the lightning fixture after I finished working with it ? ex. if I have a 35 degree roof that I want to set the fixture on, and get the idea of it hanging from the roof ? Also, is it possible to adjust the 'length' of the fixture as i place it, or do I have to create new families for every length ? Thank's again for all your help! /jw

Hi, in your family, you can create ref. planes with dimensions (angles and so one) to control the lenght, inclination... the lighting fixture i imported to a "Family Face based", so if you place in a roof that family keep with the inclination of the roof, if you want to rotate you must do it in the family not in the project, unless like i told you, if you create parameters to control that in project, like you saw in the videos you can rotate (in project) the "spot light" in any direction...

Sorry, but those videos are "GONE", it was made in October of the last year and I only have a few GB free in Screencast.com, so, sometimes I must delete the olders for create new ones... I think I gonna put them (news) in Megaupload then you can download and save in your hard-drive...
