    Question Light fixture shown 0 volts and 0 WATTS(VA)

    AFTER SELECTING THE FAMILY, I AM ABLE TO EDIT AND PUT THE LABEL F1, 277V, 185WATS and also locate the IES file. However, when I touch with the mouse, the fixture shows 0volts, 0 VA.
    I am very new in Revit.
    WHAT I AM DOING WRONG ?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hovering show the Family Name and Type. If you want the hover tooltip to change, you will need to rename your family from the element properties.

    The connector in your fixture family also has parameters for voltage and apparent load. You need to make them equal to the numbers you input into the family.
    Click on the connector and go to Element Properties
    Click the small button to the far right of the Voltage parameter
    Pick the family parameter where you input the voltage

    repeat the process for the apparent load, setting it equal to the parameter where you input the wattage

    this will give the connector the same values that you input into the family
