That feeling when KZbin tutorials from you are more practical and more usefull than lessons with aou actual lector on the university :) keep up good job :)

[@alanperkins3131]

When I open a new family it has only a few options and it does not contains the metric lighting option so why does it has a few options (revit 2020)?

[@danielnaidoo2078]

[@ayesharoosmin7014]

[@minamiislamkhan1484]

[@gustavocadenashernani5993]

Thanks a great tutorial. I have some trouble with my project, the arquitecture modeling is finished, and I'm doing perspectives with the 3d camera. In my structural sheet i want to put two sections and a perspective full of notes of the specialty , but the 3d view is to big and I don´t know how to control the scale of it. I found a way to do it: I create a new plan view, work with the section box to specify the area of work and I put there the 3d image scanned. It's a solution a little longer because I don't know the real way to do it. I continue my search for answers, but I would be great to have you help. Thank you again.

[@vijendrakumar1437]

What would be the IES for a single small LED bulb (the single unit from the LED strip light)?

[@vishnu.r8822]

could u show how to create sconce light that can be placed on generic mass

[@aagashbalakumaran9595]

Bro some of load family components are can not inserted into the project....how to insert it.....and also whats the difference between imperial and metric models

[@cwy1969]

hi.. thank you for such a helpful video.. i hv a problem loading a second family into project though.. it says somethiing like "family 1 has been loaded, do u want to overwrite the existing version?" I was wondering if u could tell me what to do.. I already hv 1 family of lighting fixture but how do i load a second one? please reply as soon as u see this.. thank you very much

[@andcat3320]

thanks

[@lumtumtumlum3854]

great thanks so much!

[@SourcianMStudio]

Hi, BA. Hope you're doing well and that I'm not too late: I have a problem: The lights rendering on my Revit (2018) are working with me at all. The types 'spot', 'square' and 'circle' lights are too dim upon rendering, and the 'line' lights are too bright. I don't understand why at all. They're all the same intensity and luminosity and color and all, and tampering with the rendering lighting/shadowing dials somewhat improves some light types only to screw over others. After days of trying to fix the problem in vain, the internet didn't give me any answers other than using the 'Photometric Web' type of lights, of which I have no families. I looked for them but couldn't find any like they show on some KZbin videos. Every time I get a bearing it betrays me. Have you any good advice here?

[@osamaalrashed2567]

hey balkan architect . if i put a light inside a room and i render an interior picture and choose interior sun only the lights still on in the rendering picture (it doesn't cast light but it appears like its still on ) what should i do plz

[@RogerRiverson]

I can't get a light source showing in the realistic / render view. The source is below, it works when inserted into an old project but not a new one. I'm now using Revit 2018.

[@RogerRiverson]

Solved! In 'Graphic Display Options' I went to Lighting > Scheme, the changed to 'Interior: Artificial only'

[@shubhamnagpure9048]

Hello sir, I want to add the lights in my Generic model. Is it possible???? Please reply me soon 🙏

[@lumtumtumlum3854]

light source definition in revit 2017 nothing ? why? help me

[@sharafsiyad4500]

can you make a video that for details and unknown elements or mostly used items in schedule and quantities for electrical

[@balkanarchitect]

Well I don't know much about electrical elements, I'm an architect, but there will be a video on schedule and quantities!

[@elenivl5050]

Everything works fine till when I have to load the family to my project.. it won't let me add it and at the properties, under constraints, it'll say elevation 4000 instead of level 1 Don't know what to do

[@heidiw3615]

It's a struggle to learn Revit after learning Rhino, Sketchup and AutoCAD. I feel like Revit is making the most simple thing more complicated

[@thozhavibes3269]

hi sir, i am changing my lighting distribution but not changed ..

[@bakytorazymbet6877]

Great Thanks

[@sharafsiyad4500]

can u tell me what is the diff bw metric n imperial?? only diff is represent in meter and feet?? can you tell or show in detail??

[@balkanarchitect]

well that's the only difference, metric is used in Europe, and imperial is common in the US

[@ricaselva1156]

It's a little confusing at first. But I know I'll get the hang of this

[@leeloo7782]

I like ur video

[@АлексейТ-з3ь]

In this video - light souce is out side of lighter, I mean outside before defuzor, I can't undestand it

[@leonlinch]

i find this very confusing and hard to follow.i would aprishiate and eaiser and simpler way of getting a light famikly.thank you bulky xx

[@maheshvm5704]

[@tashriquekarriem8865]

Metric is king
