To create a set of track lights
1 Create a lighting fixture family to represent the light source.
For example, create a family that describes a can light in a set of track lights. Create the geometry
for the can fixture, and define its light source.
See Creating a Lighting Fixture with One Light Source on page 1169.
In the following steps, this family is referred to as the light source family.
2 For the light source family, turn on the Light Source and Shared parameters, as follows:
a Click Family Properties panel
➤
Category and Parameters.
b In the Family Category and Parameters dialog, under Family Parameters, select Light Source.
Turning on the light source allows you to specify photometric parameters for it.
c Select Shared.
Sharing the light source family ensures that a lighting fixture schedule can display
information for individual lights, and that you can adjust lighting parameters for individual
lights. (See
Sharing a Lighting Fixture Family on page 1171.)
d Click OK.
e Save the light source family.
3 Create the host lighting fixture family, as follows:
a Create the geometry for the lighting fixture.
For example, for a set of track lights, create the track on which the can lights will be
mounted. See
Creating a Lighting Fixture with One Light Source on page 1169.
b Create reference planes that can be used to position the light sources and lock them to the
lighting fixture (the track).
See Reference Planes on page 1106.
