3D DWF, can you test this for me?

Can somebody please do me a favour and insert this light fitting into a new project, export to a 3D DWF and see if the light source is solid?

I'm still having the problem of the light source showing as solid in all my 3D DWFs on any fitting that wasn't made by Autodesk. This fitting is one I haven't made, it was downloaded from VISA lighting. If you don't see the light source then it is the templates I'm using.

Still see the light source on this fitting by the way, and any of mine, but not default fittings.

Hi,
I inserted all three lights, via drag n drop from the project browser.
The first two were host based on a gridded ceiling, the last one (LampingDes(120V) was hosted to a floors (?).

After export to 3D DWF and putting a cross section it looks okay. I've attached it for your comparison.

Cheers, FYI we just figured it out!

Our IT department decided we didn't need the IES files that all our light sources link to every time we edit them and so they got rid of them. The seem to enjoy deleting things from our machines because they assume we don't need them (render library, windows character map, etc).

Since it can't find the IES file it inserts some default geometry and then when you load it back into the project it messes up.

Flipping IT/CAD managment strikes again! I can empathise, as per my previous thread.
