Turning Lights On and Off

Individual lighting fixtures or entire light groups can be turned on or off to achieve the desired lighting
effects in a rendered image. When you turn on or off lights in a 3D view, the settings are saved as part of
the view properties, and they affect that view only. They do not affect rendered images for any other 3D
views.
If a lighting fixture is a nested family that is not shared, you cannot control individual light sources in the
fixture. Instead, you turn the entire lighting fixture on or off. See
1107.
To turn lights on or off
1 Open the Artificial Lights dialog.
2 In the Artificial Lights dialog, under On/Off, select individual lighting fixtures or light groups
3 Click OK.
4 To see the results, render the image.

Renaming a Light Group

1 Open the Artificial Lights dialog.
2 In the Artificial Lights dialog, select the group name.

Deleting a Light Group

1 Open the Artificial Lights dialog.
2 In the Artificial Lights dialog, select the group name.

Revit Architecture deletes the light group. All of the lighting fixtures that belonged to that group are listed
under Ungrouped Lights.

Plants and Entourage

You can include plants, cars, people, and other entourage in project views. When you render a view, the
entourage is also rendered, adding realistic details to the image.
