Hi everyone,

I'm not figuring out this problem!

To obtain a very uniform "light beam" I have to create an array of small lights pieces. Instead, if I place in my project a long linear light (i.e. 1,4 meters) it is rendered as spot light...

How to do?!

(I'm using Revit 2017)

Edit your light source in the family.  Start by reading your HELP HERE then the other sub sections.

The light source is ok, I'm practiced with this.

Actually I solved: Setting "Advanced" in "Precision lights and materials" from the customizable properties for renderings, finally the light is rendered linear.

But...... this causes long times for rendering. There isn't a good compromise?!?

:S

Linear lights aren't linear at all?

Revit always renders all of the lights
