kwhitt Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 I'm trying to layout a recessed light grid in a kitchen design. Whenever I move a recessed light too close to the front exterior wall, it jumps onto the 2nd floor. It's a story and a half home, but the second level is defined as floor 2. This also happens when I draw a CAD line in order to snap into the proper location. I've been trying to find a workaround for over a 1/2 hour - needless to say, quite frustrating. I have attached a zipped file as the size was slightly over the 25MB limit. I'd appreciate any help with this.

kwhitt Posted October 29, 2019 Author Share Posted October 29, 2019 Did you try moving them once initially placed? Thanks Eric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwhitt Posted October 29, 2019 Author Share Posted October 29, 2019 Please select the single light I placed and try moving 42" off front wall using the dimension I have drawn. It jumps to 2nd floor every time - at least on my install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwhitt Posted October 29, 2019 Author Share Posted October 29, 2019 Thanks Eric. Can you think of a workaround? I've even tried offsetting from second floor ceiling and since the ceiling directly above is sloped, it comes in on an angle. There's got to be a manual way to place these fixtures...

basketballman Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 How about removing the beam or joists in electrical layer set only ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKitchenAbode Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 If you open up the symbol DBX for the recessed fixture you can change it from mounts on ceiling to mounts on floor. Then set the height from finished floor to your ceiling height. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
