Changing a Lighting Fixture in a Building Model

Many parameters for lighting fixtures and their light sources are defined by the lighting fixture family. Some of these parameters can be changed for individual instances in the building model. Other parameters must be changed in the family type or family.

To change a lighting fixture in a building model

1. In a project view, select the lighting fixture.
2. On the Properties palette, change the values of the parameters, as needed.

   The instance parameters that are available vary depending on the lighting fixture family and how its family parameters are defined.

3. To change type parameters, do the following:
   1. On the Properties palette, click Edit Type.
   2. In the Type Properties dialog, change parameter values as desired.

      The type parameters that are available vary depending on the lighting fixture family and how its family parameters are defined. See Parameters for Lighting Fixtures and Light Sources.

      To specify an IES file for the light source, see Specifying an IES File for a Light Source.
