Rotate Lighting Fixture

Anonymous
Not applicable

I am trying to create a light fixture with a head that can rotate in two axes so that the light can aim up or down and left or right.

 

I have been unable to create a light fixture that can rotate up and down as shown in the Revit help files.

 

 

Here is a resume of my two attempts at creating this and the reasons why they failed:

 

Embedded family solution: The embedded family will not rotate vertically even as a face based fixture hosted on a line reference. If you rotate the line reference in the horizontal axis, the hosted embedded fixture ignores the rotation and does not follow.

 

Unique family solution: The light source will not move even if it is locked to a reference line, it evokes an error.

 

If you have done this succesfuly in the past, please let me know.

I'm sorry, but It seems you're nitpicking over trite details.

Sorry, I'm used to being very precise about this.
