JamieW_Campbell Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Hello! I added pendants to a vaulted ceiling and they are hanging at a weird angle (NOT straight down). Is there a setting where I can adjust the light fixture to still hang straight down from a vaulted ceiling? I'm on X14. Please see picture below of light fixtures. Thank you in advance!!

Chopsaw Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Pretty sure that is still a feature request at this point. So your options are to have a crooked base plate and a straight lamp chain, or do a complete custom rebuild of the symbol to match the slope of the ceiling.

JamieW_Campbell Posted September 30, 2023 Author Share Posted September 30, 2023 Oh, bummer! Thanks for letting me know I need to complete a custom rebuild. I've never done this before, so wish me luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Likely best to just break it at the connection and make two independent symbols so you can use it on any cathedral ceiling without too much hassle. Or keep those parts in your library so you can combine them at any pitch you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieW_Campbell Posted September 30, 2023 Author Share Posted September 30, 2023 Hi Eric, thank you. Unfortunately, when I open my Electrical Service Specification box for any light fixture, I do NOT have the "Options" tab (nor the "3D, 2D Block, Advanced String" tabs). Maybe X14 does not have these settings (tabs) available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chopsaw Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Hi Jamie, You have the same options in X14 by opening the Symbol Specifications for the light fixture. X15 combines those two DBX's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieW_Campbell Posted September 30, 2023 Author Share Posted September 30, 2023 Thank you, Chop Saw! I opened the Symbol Specification as you suggested and unchecked "flush mounted". It worked!! =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
