How to add multiple light sources to a chandelier family in Revit?

[MayowaKJ]

Hello, I need help on how to edit a chandelier family. It has just a light source, my question is can I possibly add more light sources to the candles? If yes, I will like a guide on how to do that. Thanks

Sure.  See this...

Also, check with chandelier manufacturers for Revit content. Perhaps a single IES file for a single light source would suffice.

I've looked at this link several times, but I don't understand how to import multiple sources into a luminaire template, as I am not able to delete the original light source.

Does chandeliers with multiple light sources have to be created from a generic template?

Thanks

Did that solve this thread? You ready to model Liberace's piano candelabra now?

... here is your chandelier (attached .rfa)

.... downloaded from revitcity.com

... just take a look on how was made

....(you can do some reverse engineering)
