Revit categories not showing lighting switches, data, and fire alarm

Hi, 

I hope this will be an easy fix. I'm working on a job where I use my filters to darken my fixture for printing. I'm using Revit 2016 I think something changed in Revit because lighting switches arent next to lighting fixtures in the categories. I also cant find data and fire alarm devices anymore. did they get a new category name that I don't know about?

 

I've attached png below. I'm showing 2x4 and they darken by the filter of lighting fixtures but my switches aren't turning dark with them. Also, have shown the VG and you can see there's no category for lighting switches nor data and fire alarm devices.

This was so helpful. I was having a problem displaying Data Devices and I had never thought about changing the discipline in Visibility Graphics before!
