Light fixture not showing complete

[raquel.santanna]

Hi!

I have created a light fixture family that has basically 2 parts, the base and a dome on top*.  But when I upload into my project, only the base appears. Do you know why?

*I used void to create the dome on top that is showing in orange for me, but I haven't gotten any error message about this.

Post the Family.   That way we don't have to guess.

That is wrong, a void alone cannot be used to present the dome.  Use a solid and cut it partially with a void if needed.

Maybe it isn't wrong. That's why I asked to see the family.  

Here's a screenshot of a Face-Based Family that just has an unattached VOID in it. That orange sphere. 

Maybe you just need to check "Cuts with Void when Loaded" in the Family and use Cut Geometry in the Project.  

Of course, that's just a guess.  We could keep guessing all day, but you probably would like to have a solid solution. Am I right? Post your Family.
