lighting circuit wires don't extend to the fixture

Anonymous — Wed, 10 Mar 2021 16:49:41 GMT

Hi, I'm very new to Revit and I can't figure this issue out. When I circuit my fixtures the wires show correctly until I covert the wires. Then they stop short of the actual fixture by a small distance. I'm at a loss. I thought it was an issue with the fixture family I was using but some of the elements are acuity fixtures and some are the standard revit lighting connection element. How do I fix this? Please see that attached screen captures.

Are you using a dashed line for wires? I wonder if it will be better if you use continuous line work?

Unfortunately, no. I tried making the lines continuous but they stop short. I am very suspicious that it has to something to do with the individual lighting fixture elements. Two of the fixtures have this gap but there is one fixture type that works fine.

infoAGNFT, did you ever get a response or a fix? I am having the same problem with the same family. This message line is almost 10 months old and should be deleted if it doesn't provide a solution. Thanks for any help either of you can provide. SW

In a specific wire type fill its "Type Comment" parameter with specific word and on that basis create view filter in your view and from visibility graphics change the line type you want, or you can make it continuous also.
