Displaying a Wall-Based Lighting Fixture in a Floor Plan
In a floor plan view, wall-based lighting fixtures (such as sconces) may not display if the cut plane of the
floor plan view occurs below the height at which the fixture is mounted to the wall. For example, if the cut
plane for a floor plan view is 1200 mm and the lighting fixture is mounted to the wall at 2000 mm, the floor
plan view does not display the fixture.
To force Revit Architecture to display these lighting fixtures in floor plans, add an invisible model line to
the lighting fixture family.
To display a wall-based lighting fixture in a floor plan
1
In the project, open the section view or elevation view in which the wall-based lighting fixture
displays.
2
Select the lighting fixture.
3
On the Options Bar, click Edit Family.
4
At the prompt, click Yes to open the lighting fixture family for editing.
Revit Architecture opens the lighting fixture family in the Family Editor.
5
Name a reference plane that is parallel to the wall, as follows:
a
In the Project Browser, under Floor Plans, double-click Ref. Level (or a floor plan view that
shows reference planes for the lighting fixture).
b
In the drawing area, select a reference plane that is near the wall and parallel to it.
If the lighting fixture family does not include a reference plane that is parallel to the wall,
add one. See
Adding Reference Planes
on page 1046.
c
Right-click the reference plane, and click Element Properties.
d
In the Element Properties dialog, for Name, enter a name for the reference plane (wall
plane, for example).
6
Add an invisible model line to the lighting fixture, using the named reference plane, as follows:
a
In the Project Browser, under Elevations, double-click Front or Placement Side (or an
elevation view that shows the front of the lighting fixture).
b
On the Design Bar, click Model Lines.
c
In the Work Plane dialog, select Name.
d
In the pull-down list for Name, select the wall plane.
e
Click OK.
f
In the Type Selector, select Invisible lines.
g
In the drawing area, sketch a vertical line that extends from the center of the lighting fixture
to the floor (or reference level).
h
Press
ESC
twice.
7
Save changes to the lighting fixture family.
8
Load the updated family into the project, replacing the existing family with the same name.
9
Open a floor plan view for the level on which the wall-based lighting fixture resides.
The wall-based lighting fixture now displays in the floor plan, because the cut plane intersects the invisible
model line.
