Light Issue

[Grumple]

Hi Chaps,

Could you please take a quick look at the pics I've attached and tell me what I've done wrong...

I am making a simple wall based light fixture that I am recessing into the wall a bit... However, in the family I can move the light source into position, and it looks fine - but when I load it into a project, the light source is in the wall!

I've worked around it by placing the light source away from the light fixture in the family, so it looks ok in project, but why is it behaving like that?

Thanks : )

Your light source plane is probably located relative to center of wall, not face of wall.

You need to create a ref. plane outside your wall and align and lock the light source to that. If you pick on the wall in the family editor and change its size you will see your problem.

Ok, I'll give it a go...

Thanks for the advice :)
