Architects lighting layout

I am currently working on a lighting layout for a project and the architect has laid out lighting in their model to give us something to go by and check with calculations. My dilemma comes when I put my families in for schedule and circuiting purposes the plans get messy with double lines. Is there a way to hide their light fixtures but keep mine as showing once they are placed?

You should come to some agreement with the architect to have the lighting designer (i assume this is you) to place the fixtures. the architects' fixtures should just not exist.

 

I don't know what you use, I use the elum tool plugin for lighting design. it is very slick, accurate and efficient. But it would drive me crazy if someone who isn't a lighting designer meddles with lighting and already places fixtures that I would have to remove or get rid of otherwise.

If you are linking their model into yours, you can turn off the link's lights through the V/G overrides.

Good luck with this one as most of the industry utilizes both architectural and MEP lighting fixtures when collaborating.
