light fixture looks different when placed

Hi, I could really use your help. I got this light fixture family but it looks completely different when I place it then what it should look like. it should look like the fixture in the properties panel but it looks like a block.

Hard to tell. Post the Family and let us test ourselves. 

 

...or better, post the RVT containing the family.

Hi,

Here is where I got this file from: https://www.archiproducts.com/en/products/luceplan/led-polyurethane-foam-pendant-lamp-soleil-noir-pe...

I'm not sure how to upload the zip file here.

You'll need to figure out a way to ZIP and post it. I can't seem get into that site you posted a Link to.  I'm done trying.  Happy to help you if you can get me the RFA.  Maybe you can just post the product ZIP you downloaded from archiproducts, instead of me trying to download it directly?

The problem is that the Materials are not assigned to a Family Parameter that you can modify in the Project. They are set to BYCATEGORY, which is assigned through Object Styles in the Project. Not good.  Associate the Geometry's Material Parameter to a Family Parametry (e.g. "Body Material") and then you can associate any Project Material to that Family Parameter/Geometry (via it's TYPE Properties) in the Project.  Get it?

Note: You can also transfer these Materials that came with the family to your Project via Transfer Project Standards.  Make sure you do not have similarly named Materials in your Project before transferring. This could cause problems.

@maayan.raviv 

 

The lighting family has different levels of detail. In a coarse of medium level view, it will appear as the profil in plan but simply extruded. At a high level of detail, the curved surface version is displayed.

 

Just change the detail level of your view to high.

oh my word... I feel so silly. Didn't think it could be that because it was also rendering it strangely with enscape. Thank you.

No offense @lucdoucet_msdl , but I don't know what View Detail has to do with the fact that the geometry is not associated to a Material Parameter.  The correct workflow is what I described.

Never mind. I get it now.  I misinterpreted the OP's Screenshot. I just saw that something was highlighted.  I can't tell what it is.  The Screenshot only measures a couple on inches on my Monitor.

 

 

 

Well, at least Archiproducts is happy.  They got my Name and Email Address now. They can besiege me with unsolicited Emails. ARRGH!
