Light Lister

Anonymous
Not applicable
In Revit I can use a dialog box called a light lister to go through and turn on or off various lights that I have placed in a model. I have made a fly-through of a building and to do so I placed a number of lights in the building as well as an "undersun" and window lights. For a sun study, I want to turn off just the interior light objects so I can watch the effects of natural daylight on an interior space. I turned off the light objects and I apparently also turned off the "undersun" and the window lights because now the interior is dark except for the windows.
Do I have to locate each individual light and turn it off so I can have the sun objects and window lights left on? I would like to leave the light objects in place, just turned off. Is there a group switch for that?

Thanks...

So I put the schedule together as Karl suggested. I went through it and turned off each light I had on the inside of the building. I checked, rechecked and double-checked the window lights and the rest of the light fixtures for location and function. Then I set up with the lightworks renderer and ran June 21 for the full day and with a single camera in the room.
It still has light trails on the walls where the room lights are on. And I still don't have any effect that is noticeable from the sun.
Apparently shutting off the interior lights in the chart doesn't shut off the light. I made a pdf of the light list. Maybe I did not include the columns I should have in order for the list to actually control the lights?

This is the same problem I'm having. Have you come across a reason why the check box in the schedule doesn't automatically change the object's setting?
