I have a santuary model that I am trying to insert a skylight into. I created an inplace ceiling family. I put a void in the ceiling the shape of the rectangular skylight I then created a solid in place window family which is the blue rectangle in bottom half of attached jpg. I opened the rendering bar, clik "daylignts" and pick the window family and it highlights in red. It's an interior view with the sun turned off under lighting. It doesn't work as a daylgiht source. If I turn it on, it has all kinds of daylight coming in, odd looking.
>>> Is there a way to create an in place famliy which is a daylight source?

Daylighting is only applicable when Radiosity is applied to your rendering. Daylighting allows exterior light sources (i.e. The Sun) to shine through tranparant/translucent materials with applicable refraction/reflection taken into account.
View the Revit Help file for more information on the pros and cons of Radiosity.

Daylights function in a region raytrce rendering. See attached. I create an in place solid with material set to glass then I opened the rendering bar, clik "daylignts" and pick the skyight family and it highlights in red. Rendering using region raytrace is attached jpg. One tip: The skylight family should be created on top of a shaft wall (as in would actually be) or else the skyight casts actual sun angles into the room and makes harsh rendering sun patterns inside the room. This can also be handled by making sun settings to cloudy day, late in the day, etc.
