REVIT LIGHTING

[marbess]

Hi All, im fairly new to Revit, coming from the lighting design field and AGI32. i built out a residence for a lighting project and pulled in some adjustable downlights for use on the 2"/12" sloped ceiling. the issue is the angle of the light beam follows the slope of the ceiling, instead of pointing directly down. is there a way to aim just the light source and move the beam? thanks

You should modify the lighting family or create a new one. You can modify/create a family in such a way that you can rotate forms or nested families. If needed on all 3 axis.

Search the forums or the internet on  how to do this.

There is an angle parameter for the light source. This is available if you have a photometric web file light source (IES file). To utilize this parameter you might need to ensure the light is rotated the exact right direction.
