Would anyone know why my lighting fixtures are coming in upside down and is there a way to flip them over?  I'm brand new to Revit MEP and am hoping there is just a setting I'm missing.  Even the little preview in properties shows the fixture upside down.  Any help would be appreciated.  Many thanks...

Apr 8, 2021 · When I place a new lighting fixture on my ceiling, I'd like to see the symbol of the lighting fixture on my plan view. After an hour of trying myself and googling, I could not find the answer. Hope to find an answer here.

Mar 16, 2023 · I'm having the same issue (in Revit 2022). I checked and all of my lighting fixtures are in the Lighting Fixture category. I even inserted a native Revit pendant component to double check. No matter how I try to load certain category tags (this includes Doors, Windows, Walls, and Lighting Fixtures - though there may be more), they won't load.

Jun 23, 2017 · Use lighting fixture families in Lighting\MEP folder, they are face based families so you can place them directly on any surface of the link model. When placing, look at the Ribbon to pick Vertical, Horizontal, or work plane.

Dec 1, 2020 · I have one light fixture that I cannot get to show up in my reflected ceiling lighting plan view. I can see it in the section view but not in the actual plan view.

Jul 27, 2011 · The "Specified Lighting Load" shows up great, as does the "Specified Power Load". However, I would still like to be able to get a total for Specified Lighting Load for the entire building too. Take a look at my attachments and let me know what you think! Need to know: 1.
