I am doing interior renderings in a project that I preiously had sucessfully made interior renderings with.  Now neither a new rendering or the old (previoulsy successful) rendering weill yeild anything but a black screen.   the new rendering and the lights in the rendering are the same new phase.

1. I have examined lthe lighs.  reset lighting levels to the highest
2. the lighting group is ON in the rendering settings
3. I have looked at the light familes - they should work 

Revit wil not produce a reding that includes interior lighting.  Just big glary holes where the windows are (seen in sillouhette)Inrdering dialog, sun and artifical

also - set all the fixtures light loss factor to 4=brighter.  Upped wattages to 400w.   They are "on" in the lighting rendering group. 

Also, tried to re-render a view that previously rendered fine... same thing, no interior lights are making any lighting - lighting coming thru the windows.  

What can I do?

Have you really looked at your model?

Phase Filter - show all?

Look up where your lights are - can you pick a light?   Maybe you have a ceiling blocking them
