why does a the family of standard pendant lights ghost out?  the family inserts into the drawing but is only invisble in "shading with edges" view display, attachment shows it with SD display and red when it is selected. In ordinary plan view it dissappears.  "lighting fixutures" is set to display in the view.

I figured it out.  Ceiling plan view ranges need to re reset or else you don't see the fixure.

top:  3' (best I can tell this is sort of your eye level from which the plan looks up)

bottom 1' (this seems to be the level at which the plan is cut, must be below "top"Winking

view depth:  11' or whatever ceiling height is.  (view depth is upside down from a plan view. it is how far UP you look. Winking
