Can only view "light sources" for Architecture lights but not MEP lights

[autodeskcloudluds]

Hello,

I am new to Revit and just started to work with lights.

For some reason I can only view "light sources" for Architecture lights but not MEP lights, although the setting is on : Vue > Visibility/Graphics > Lights > Light sources.

Am I missing something or do you think the file I am working/testing with is somehow corruped? Or is it because you can't mix-and-match from the 2 disciplines - that it created some kind of bug? Attached is an exemple (photo) as well as a the project exemple.

Thanks for your help

I am not sure why this is. The reason is that the other light are IES lights. They apparaently (I usually do not show light sources in project) do not show in realistic view When you set your visual style to another setting (e.g. shaded, hidden line) they will show.

Oh thank you for your help.

I have literally spent 2 hours trying to troubleshoot this ! trying all sorts of fixes (unloading /reloading families, starting with a blank project, reading the help about graphics/visibility etc…). I would have never thought of changing the view mode from Realistic mode - since some of them showed in this view - to "Uniform", and I tried to troubleshoot in this mode only (bit strange that the behaviour is different from one mode to the other).

Anyway it works in "Uniform" mode the "realistic" one is unimportant. Thanks again
