2009 Lighting

Anyone have a clue as to why when I select the Interior Sun and artificial lighting scheme only the sunlight shows up. I have 20 interior lights...Keep in mind this was a 2008 project....I went in and added 2 studio lights...and they show up but none of the can lights do...However, when I select artificial light ONLY....they work just fine. I am missing something I just know it...Thanks ahead of time for any insight.

Sounds like the lights might not have been migtated yet. From the "What's
New" section of the help file:

To migrate a lighting fixture family, open the lighting fixture family in
the Family Editor. Revit Architecture adds a new light source definition to
the family, using default settings. Make desired changes to the light source
definition and its parameters. (See Defining the Geometry of a Light Source
and Defining Parameters for Lighting Fixtures and Light Sources.) Save
changes to the family.

To migrate a lighting fixture family in a project, first migrate the
lighting fixture family as described above. Then save the family and reload
it into the project, overwriting the existing family. (Override parameters
in the project if desired.) Save changes to the project.

After migration, the light sources for the lighting fixtures render
photometrically, and they have more photometric properties. For more
information, see Lights



Try migrating the lights as described. Then try the rendering again and see
if you get better results. I have also found when using
"sunlight+artificial" setting I need to go in and adjust the exposure
settings after the rendering is complete.
