In our office we typically use RCPs to show lighting fixtures, and use symbols with an attached letter to signify type.  I've made a 2D light fixture symbol family, using the "Lighting Fixture ceiling based" Template, but I can't tag those light fixtures.  The families have all of the Properties listed on pre-loaded Lighting Fixtures; the only differences are that I made them from scratch from the Lighting Fixture template, and they are 2D symbols, not 3D models.  The only light fixtures I am able to tag are the ones loaded as Components.  Does someone know how to fix this, or what the best way to create symbol-based, tag-able lighting plans is?  Thanks

Symbols are annotations - non scable entities.  In CAD, these were what we used because we were only producing 2D drawings.  With Revit and BIM, you should be thinking 3D entities whenever possible.  But this can still be a 2D, or what we call 2-1/2 D family.  It is a true family, using symbollic linework,  that looks just like your symbol but it scales with the view and is taggable and can be scheduled.
