Attempting to get nested light source to render in a generic family.
I am attempting to nest a light source with a generic model so that it will render. So far I have been successful with creating a light source family and I have nested 2 of them into this family but, when I attempt to render they do not appear.
I have tried rendering with interior and exterior artificial with no luck. I think it may not be showing up because the lights are within the family and I must change the category to light fixture. The thing is I am not allowed to do this so if there might be a work around that would be wonderful.
Almost forgot! At first I was attempting to achieve my lighting effects with illuminated material but I read somewhere that it does not light up its surroundings. Either way I could not get it to show up in the rendering anyway.
EDIT: I went into testing mode after this post. I found that my suspicions that my lights might not be working because of the catagory are wrong I changed the category and did a test render that did not turn out. From there I tested to see if my light sources are just not working so I loaded them into the project and did the test render, and they worked but when I combine them with the family I still have no luck.
