Revit Architecture 2008

I feel like I'm loosing my mind.  When placing lights in my ceiling grid there is no way to snap to the grid.  I need to zoom in and eyeball it.  That can't be right...what am I missing?

I know the issue you are talking about. I have found that it is better for me to place one first and then use the align tool to align it with the grid. I then use copy/multiple and copy them around the room. With copy you can select a base point.

Great idea!  Thank you.  I didn't even think of using align.  I was just so shocked that they weren't automatically snapping in!

Ceiling grid rotates when mirrored, lights fixtures don't.
