![]() ![]() Hi William, thank you for getting back to us. ![]() This way, a Revit MEP user can host lights to a linked Architectural model.In general, all components hosted on BIMObject are not created equal however, they do have a vetting process similar to Autodesk Seek, to ensure that standards and best practices are being followed. ![]() Face-based lights can host to the face of any geometry (bottom of a floor, beam, ceiling, etc.), to a work plane, or to a linked model. Just a quick thought about your comment regarding face-mounted lights: industry-wide, it's a best practice to create lights as face-based families, because it allows for the most flexibility. ![]() In general, all components hosted on BIMObject are not created equal however, they do have a vetting process similar to Autodesk Seek, to ensure that standards and best practices are being followed. This way, a Revit MEP user can host lights to a linked Architectural model. Edit 3/12/18- I've since modified my overall rating for a couple reasons: 1) BIM Object contacted me and was able to clarify precisely why models were created this way and clear up any misunderstandings and 2) Revit has since been updated so that a family's category can be changed easily, making this a much smaller issue than it used to be. This isn't something that is BIM Object's fault (since they're user-made) but it has created some real problems when I'm trying to schedule furniture and pieces aren't populating because they're made from a 'generic' template. On the day to day though, the bigger issue to me is that not all the models created are exactly as advertised- furniture pieces being made from generic templates, ceiling lights made as face-mounted, etc. Eventually I was able to get access to an old online Revit library with the help of Autodesk staff to get the specific models I needed. ![]()
