Lamp Objects - mounting heights

Can someone point me to how I set the mounting height for ceiling fixtures from bottom of fixture to top of fixture. Changing from one type to another the fixture disappear into the ceiling?

 

Thanks,

I think this usually depends on how the GDL script of the library part is written.

So, you would have to modify its script to make this possible if the library part currently does does not have this capability.

The lights you are switching between would also all need to be scripted using the same parameters too else they will not carry across. For hanging lights, I use GLOB_ELEVATION to define the bottom and ZZYZX to define the ceiling height as that makes sense UI wise, but it means that they do not match other lights as for those GLOB_ELEVATION is the fixing height, which matches all of the OTB lamps.
