Adding Light into an Imported Revit Model

[sydney_ghiglione1]

Hi,

So I had to make several light fixtures in SketchUp because Revit didn't have any models that resembled them. So I modeled them in SketchUp, brought them to Formit, then into my Revit model. And they look great! The only issue is that they don't emit any light. I know in SketchUp you can add the light source itself, can you do that in Revit too? I just don't know how to make it light up.

hi

1-open new family template > Metric/Imperial Lighting Fixture.rft

2-insert tab :

if you have a Skectup file: Import CAD > Change File of type to SKP, then open.

if you have a Revit family file *rfa: insert tab > Load family and loaded your family.

3-set Light Source on the Light Geometry.

4-Settting Light Source Definition on the Ribbon.

5-Set Light Source Parameter.

6-Load into Project and Worked.
