In the given Lighting Fixture Schedule, each row represents a lighting fixture type rather than individual instances, and the “Count” column summarizes how many fixtures of that type exist in the project. To achieve this layout in Revit, two specific actions must be performed in the Schedule Properties dialog:

Deselected “Itemize every instance.”

The Revit documentation explains:

“Itemize every instance. This option displays all instances of an element in individual rows. If you clear this option, multiple instances collapse to the same row based on the sorting parameter. If you do not specify a sorting parameter, all instances collapse to one row.”

By deselecting this checkbox, Revit consolidates identical fixture instances of the same type into a single row — exactly as shown in the exhibit, where each “Type Mark” (A, B, C, etc.) appears once with a summarized Count.

Sorted by Type Mark.

On the same Sorting/Grouping tab, Revit allows users to organize the schedule by a specific field:

“On the Sorting/Grouping tab of the Schedule Properties dialog, you can specify sorting options for rows in a schedule… You can sort by any field in a schedule, except Count.”

In the example, fixtures are sorted alphabetically by their “Type Mark” (A through E). This ensures the grouped and counted results appear in order.

Other options—such as filtering by type mark or adding switch data—do not impact how instances collapse or group within the schedule.

When working in Autodesk Revit for MEP Electrical Design, lighting fixtures can be either hosted (such as ceiling-hosted or wall-hosted) or non-hosted. The movement of lighting fixtures in relation to linked model elements—like ceiling grids—is determined by the hosting condition and alignment constraints applied to those elements.

According to the Revit MEP User’s Guide (Chapter 24 “Ceilings” and Chapter 50 “Rendering”), a ceiling is a level-based element. You can create it on a specified level and host ceiling-based families such as lighting fixtures. When a ceiling is modified or repositioned, the hosted lighting fixtures will move with the ceiling itself, maintaining their relationship to the host surface. However, when ceiling grid patterns are changed or moved in a linked Revit model, the movement of those grid patterns does not automatically propagate to hosted elements in the electrical model unless those elements are directly linked or constrained to a movable reference plane.

As described:

“Ceilings are level-based elements… When you create a ceiling, you can host components such as lighting fixtures on its face. Hosted elements remain associated with their host even if the ceiling is modified.”

And further in the glossary section:

“Rehost: To move a component from one host to another. For example, you can use the Pick New Host tool to move a window from one wall to another wall.”

This confirms that a hosted light fixture maintains its attachment to the host element (the ceiling) but not to the grid pattern itself. Grid movement within a linked ceiling model does not alter the position of lights unless they are manually re-hosted or alignment-locked directly to a specific geometry within the host model.

Therefore, the correct interpretation is that when ceiling grid patterns move within a linked Revit model, the lights placed in the electrical model do not follow the grid pattern movement automatically. They remain stationary relative to the ceiling surface, provided they are hosted correctly.

This behavior reflects Revit’s parametric relationships — “hosted elements maintain dependency only on their host, not on graphical references like grids unless locked via constraints.”

When lighting fixtures placed in an architectural linked model need to be replicated in the electrical model while maintaining their exact positions, the correct tool is Copy/Monitor.

This Revit feature allows the electrical designer to copy elements—like lighting fixtures—from a linked model into their project, while establishing a monitoring relationship between the original (architectural) and copied (electrical) instances.

From the Autodesk Revit MEP User’s Guide – Chapter 55 “Multi-Discipline Coordination” (pages 1349–1357):

“Use the Copy/Monitor tool to copy MEP fixtures from an architectural model into an MEP project, and monitor them for changes.”

(Revit MEP User’s Guide, p. 1350)

“To copy fixtures from a linked model:

Click Collaborate tab ➤ Coordinate panel ➤ Copy/Monitor ➤ Select Link.

Select the linked architectural model in the drawing area.

Click Copy and select the lighting fixtures to copy.

Click Finish.Revit MEP copies the fixtures to the current project and establishes monitoring relationships.”*(Revit MEP User’s Guide, p. 1356)

Behavior and Benefits:

The copied lighting fixtures maintain the same location, orientation, and type mapping as in the linked model.

Any changes (move, delete, or modify) made by the architect in the linked model will trigger a coordination review in the electrical model.

This ensures accurate positioning and easy coordination between disciplines.

“When you select a copied fixture in the current project, the monitor icon displays next to the fixture, indicating that it has a relationship with the original fixture in the linked model.”

(Revit MEP User’s Guide, p. 1357)

“If copied fixtures are moved, changed, or deleted in the linked model, Revit MEP notifies the engineers of the changes during Coordination Review.”
