Actually recessed lighting

The tray ceiling tool can offer varying depths. The required ceiling "niche" can be as minimal as 2" if necessary. 

 

What this does however is "drop" the entire ceiling while leaving the floor components above untouched. 

(If this is for modeling purposes only, then perhaps it's a viable option.)

 

The cross section however will show the newly added ceiling thickness. 

 

Option B...  

 

  • Change  the "z" axis offset for the custom light fixture.
  • Calibrate the input so that the flange passes through the sheetrock layer.  

 

This might require having to "flatten"/reduce the depth of the symbol to get the bulbs to poke through as well.

New to X17 is the ability to set up your 3D lighting (and any other 3D Symbol) to automatically cut holes in walls, floors, ceilings and roofs!

We've provided a new catalog specifically for different sizes of recessed lighting objects - you can download here. To your original question, @ArmanChahal, you should now in X17 be able to set up your light fixture to behave as desired!
