Revit LED Striplight Creation Tutorial（From Revit recess、）

Method 1: Strip Light as Line Based Family
Step 1: We need to create two families, the first being a Metric Line Based family. Create a new family based on the Metric Generic Model Line Based family template.

Step 2: Create a Sweep by picking the Reference Line as the path. Create a 10mm radius circle profile to represent the LED tube. You can either now choose a Material for the tube, or Associate the Material parameter. This will allow you to change the tube material in the project environment.

Step 3: We need a light source to embed (Or nest) inside of the line based family. Create a new family based on the Metric Lighting Fixture family template.

Step 4: Select the Light Source and change the Light Source Definition’s Shape Emittance to Line, and the Light Distribution toSpherical.

Step 5: Load the Lighting Fixture family into the Line Based Family. Select the light source and edit the Type Properties. Change theInitial Intensity under the Photometrics area to 2.00 Watt. Set the Initial Colour as per your preference.

Step 6: Here is the trick:  If you have a straight ceiling line, you will be able to draw a LED tube segment according to the correct size, and create either an array (Cringe) or copy it along the straight path. When you get to a curved ceiling line, you will have to use either the Inscribed- or Circumscribed Polygon Draw tool. We can create a maximum of 32 individual line based segments per polygon draw command. Any unnecessary LED tube segments can be deleted if required.


When enabling the Light Source checkbox in the Visibility Graphics command for Lighting Fixtures, you will be able to see the “representation” of light diffusion
