The next step: Adding light sources to my adaptive component.

So I've created this free form abstract light fixture but I can't nest it in a light fixture family because it was created as an adaptive generic model family. Does anyone have an idea how I would achieve what I'd like to do?

You cannot change an adaptive family to a lighting fixture category, but you can assign a self-illuminating material to the model.

For reasons beyond the control of the users, it is not possible to nest an adaptive family into a generic family, or add a lighting source to an adaptive family, or change the category of an adaptive family into lighting fixture, or put connectors to an adaptive family, etc...  These limitations have been a matter of debate for years. Why can't we, the users, determine the category of an adaptive family, instead of being limited to this list of categories that somebody determined?

How come we can change an adaptive family into Furniture but not into Lighting Fixture?  Or why can we change the category of an adaptive family to Structural Connection but not to Structural Framing? Why is the programmer determining this instead of the user?

 

In a project where I was used to work, there was a valid need to have adaptive lighting fixtures to model  neon lights as curve tubes around other elements of a facade. There was no way to change those adaptive families into lighting fixtures, because of these restrictions. 

 

Considering the restrictions explained above, you need to create 2 families and keep them together in a project as a group. One is a lighting fixture family, with a light source, and connectors, with no solid geometry or just the most basic. The other family is the adaptive family with the exact design that you need to show in the project.

ToanDN,

I actually did find a workaround. I created a lighting fixture family and loaded it into my adaptive family. Works wonderfully. :leicht_lächelndes_Gesicht:
