Adding and Removing Lights in a Light Group Using the Light Group Editor

  1. Open the Light Group Editor, using either of the following methods:
    • In a project view, select a lighting fixture. On the Options Bar, for Light Group, click Edit.
      Note: If Light Group displays None, select the light group to which you want to add the selected lighting fixture. Then click Edit.
    • Open the Artificial Lights dialog. In the Artificial Lights dialog, select the group name. Under Group Options, click Edit.

    Revit enters light group edit mode. The Light Group panel displays in the drawing area. (You can drag it to the desired location or place it on the ribbon. See To move ribbon panels.) Model elements and lighting fixtures that belong to another light group display in halftone. Lighting fixtures that belong to the selected light group display in green. Lighting fixtures that are not currently assigned to a light group display normally.
