I have tried to place the ceiling light at the ceiling of the ceiling plan, but it doesn't allow me to do so. The mouse sign changes to a stop sign. How to solve this problem? Thank You!

Is your fixture a ceiling-hosted family? Can you place the fixture on the ceiling in 3D View?

The item is a ceiling item default at the library of Revit 2021. I cannot place it in the 3D view.

You first need to place a Ceiling (Architecture tab) in the Ceiling Plan View.

Are you sure? Doesn't sound like it if your CEILING-HOSTED family doesn't detect it in 3D View.
