Hello! As we use LED strips almost everywhere,: every cabinetry, every builds in, every shelf, ceilings, and all, I am looking for archicad object to add them. (ideally they look linear and they can be adjusted in thickness and lenght and represent in floor plan/elevations per settings.
Until now I have been adding them into elevations and floor plan manually (drawing lines) to indicate them but it no longer works this way for me as it's a full time job and hard to keep track on it, especially if something change, I have to adjust both floor plan & elevations manually.
I have seen many posts about led strip lights, but the problem is I can't find any object in archicad library or CI tools library. I tried searching led light, led strip, strip.... and nothing comes out.
Below is how I need them to look (I really mostly care just to indicate them) are and I need this to be a light object so it reflect both in elevations and floor plan as per settings.
Thanks!

Thank you!
Unfortunately that is the whole point why I made this post. I don't want to create LED's in 2D and check whether floor plan and elevations are aligned if change happens and change happens often (they can be moved, adjusted or completely removed. We have hundreds of LED lights. Showing them in solid line is also not sufficient and does not align with the rest of elevation.
The best seems to be to creating a "script" for "lighting strip object". Would it work with a beam? assuming I will save the specific Beam into "favorites" rather than giving the script to all beams). And oh the script. No I am not knowledgable about it at all (chatgpt was not helpful either). But if this is the way I need to figure it out or find someone who could help.
