Cooper Lighting (HALO) families - Trim Options

[Graham Briggs]

The recessed lighting families provided by Cooper Lighting Halo (available on Seek) have a Family Type parameter for trim and lens options that uses Generic Annotations. Unfortunately, I cannot find the requisite Generic Annotation family to load into each fixture. Can anyone "shed some light" on the subject?

It appears that the source of the list of Options is a loaded family called "Trim Options", which contains no model elements. I believe the sole purpose of that nested family is to create the pull-down list for the parameter you're referring to, which does not impact the host family in the slightest.

Oooh, that's a bloody good idea. We typically try to stick with generic content and our own shared parameters, but I never thought of nesting empty families to give us drop down functionality in our schedules. Now all I need is a weeks worth of hours to set all of them up.....
