View Full Version : Lighting fixture - Row issue

We want to show light fixture rows as one light fixture since they are ordered by row lengths (we order one row of 5 fixtures with an order code, one row of 3 fixtures with another order code). However, we also want to show the individual zoning of the fixtures that ends up being different in the individual fixtures of the rows (see attached).

I am wondering if this is possible with Revit and how I should manage the embedded fixture attributes.


I was thinking maybe add a parameter in the each fixtures "Part of a fixture" and filter the embedded fixtures out of the main schedule. I am not sure if there is a simpler way to do it or if this would even work.

I think I answered my own question. I will use embedded families and select the individual families with TAB to change the zones.
