Creating an Electrical Layout for residential design.
Six months now working in Revit (please be patient)
Example.
I have a light fixture (either a wall mount or recessed can in clg)
I have the view range set so my plan show up correctly. I want to place a light fixture (wall mount) on a wall. The height of the fixture is above the view range. When I try to view it in plan the fixture is gone. I view it in elevation its it correct. I have to adjust one or the other to get a proper plan view. But then the elevation is off. ( I have to hand place graphics on the interior elevations to account for the fixture.
My goal here is to place a fixture at the correct location and get a plan view of the symbol and the elevation view showing it correctly on the wall (the interior elevations).
Can I have a 3d fixture on the wall and a 2d graphics in plan. I would like to place the component with out having to create a region each time. (Custom houses have a lot of fixtures). I would imagen the 2d graphics and 3d graphics would each need a height parameter.
Looking for direction
thanks in advance

Use the old invisible line trick.

This Revit help page describes how to have wall hosted light fixture appear in plan view when they are above the cutting plane of the view:
Display a Wall-Based Lighting Fixture in a Floor Plan

What you are describing can be achieved by selecting the 3D geometry of the light fixture family to be not visible in plan views and then drawing the plan representation as a series of detail lines, masking regions or detail families in the plan and/or reflected ceiling views of the light fixture family.
Set Family Geometry Visibility
Hope this helps,
