Some problem with Angle Control

Hello!

 

I have a problem with angle control. 

There you can see my light with two lighting fixtures - light console and light head.

agnijapraskelevica_0-1627459966467.png

I need to change my horizontal angle that my light console "walk" tangent to light head, like that, and that is automatic:

But now, if I change my angle, my light console is like that: (I already tried to align my two Lighting Fixtures)

Can anyone help with that? :leicht_lächelndes_Gesicht: (2 days already searched information about that)

 

Thank you! 

Agnija

try adjusting the location of rotation axis

504 measures from a center point of a reference line associated to the part of the light fixture that actually rotates.

assign and lock a reference line from the axis point to the center  of the light fixture that needs to rotate along that axis line (reference line)

it should work the same as a door swing angle

Is the element that you are trying to rotate a nested family hosted to a Ref. Line?  

 

Just post the RFA here and let us see how it is constructed.

No it's hosted to a ref. plane.

Yeah, your family isn't constructed correctly.  It's fixable though. I just need to know how it is suppose to flex. Can you provide a picture of the actual light fixture - or a Link to the Manufacturer's website? Looks like it is a wall- mounted light fixture that tilts up and down, while that "bracket" remains in a stationary position attached to the wall.  Something like I'm showing here without the bracket:

This light is like street lantern and light source "head" is in a stationary position parallel to ground, but only the second part of light tilts up and down, like that:

You sure about that?  

 

Isn't a streetlight mounted on a stationary pole and the fixture aimed at the street?

I am pretty sure about that, but maybe I am wrong.

Nevertheless, now my only problem is angle rotation point.

I need, that my rotation takes place around this point (in this file).

Yes! You are right!

I solved my problem, but I have a another problem and I see, that You know that! :leicht_lächelndes_Gesicht:

How do you join light source and light "head'' together? Becauce Revit don't let me change the light source angle.

Hopefully, you can reverse-engineer the attached Family to see how it's done. Basically, your Light Fixture Family is Nested into another Family and Hosted to a Ref. Line Work Plane that has an adjustable angle.

NOTE: Light Fixture Family is "Work Plane-Based" and not "Always Vertical" and "Shared".

NOTE: Since Light Fixture Family is "Shared", you can directly access and change it's properties by TAB-Selecting on the Light Fixture in either the Hosting Family or in the Project.

NOTE: Ref. Line (Work Plane) was placed in Elevation View and its TIP was LOCKED at the X and Y Origin Ref. Planes -- and then the  Angular Dimension was pulled and Labeled.

Good luck.

I can not open your file, because I have a revit 2021, but I understand your solution.
