    Create electric light that shows symbol in plan view

    Looks like this

    Need to edit family

    Select the thing to edit the light


    Then edit family
    Change to floor plan ref level

    Then make sure its light fittings cat


    (top left family cat}

    Need to hide some of it in plan view


    Add these for tag and legends

    Make one for each light type maybe


    A
    B
    NEED TO CHECK HOW THE TAG IS CATEGORISED

    SO EDIT THE LABEL


    CAN SEE ITS TYPE MARK

    YOU NEED SOME TO SHOW AND SOME NOT TO SHOW IN PLAN

    MODEL LINES
    IE A CIRCLE
    WHICH WE
    ADDED TO BE
    A SYMBOL
    SELECT THEN
    PROOPS
    SHOW IN
    PLAN YES
    The extrusion lines part of 3d model

    We DO NOT want to show


    Trying to hide the flurescent light fitting on plan
    To have traditional symbols (Revit calls them "annotation symbols") on plans, you have to create a 2D symbol of the desired
    shape as a generic annotation, then insert that family into your 3D object family and place an instance of it at the family
    origin. Then select all of the 3D objects and set their visibility to "Fine" only. Select the annotation symbol and set its visibility to
    "Coarse" and "Medium" only. If you need multiple symbols within a single family, you'll need to create separate family types for
    each symbol and drive their visibility via family parameters as Fabio described above.

    File/new/family/annotations/
    Choose the generic annotation

    Save as a new family


    Ie Lighting Fixture symbol tag

    Add a lable
    Dupilicate the 3mm to 2mm as right
    Chose new

    Didn’t work Try this


    Modify to centre the text
    Create detail line circle- don’t change line types

    Save load and close

    Open new family


    Sconce light and change to floor plan view
    Open new family
    The E light fitting symbol tag
    And load into project

    (the sconce light)

    Tab to select the annotation symbol


    Change visibility to coarse and medium only
    Select all the 3d elements (use select all crossing and then filter out
    the annotation

    Set all visibility to Fine only

    Had to select one at a time

    (not sure about switch off in plan view)


    Easier in 3d view

    Save as a new family

    Load into project and close


    Go to the floor (ceiling) plan where you want light
    System
    Lighting fixture
    Choose the one you just created
    Ie sconce with E symbol

    THEN DUPLICATE
    MAKE A
    B
    C

    PLACE ON FACE
