Hello, I am having some problems with lighting fixtures being automatically placed on walls. Attached is a jpeg of the issues that are happening the square recessed fitting family is made from an external lighting company and the other fitting i have produced myself using the standard "Metric Electrical Fixture wall based.rft". - only the dark bit of the object is meant to extrude out of the wall on the fitting i made. From what i can understand what is happening is the fitting is being positioned at a different offset from the wall depending on how thick the wall is. Is there something i am missing or does anyone know how to fix the problem? Thanks in advance.

In your family, use the "Align" tool to constrain the face of the light with the face of the wall, use the "TAB" key to help you to find the face you need....

Exactly. Your alignment within the family is most likely tied to the reference plane not the wall face. Use TAB as Ty says. It's a little decieving because there is a refernce plane right on the wall face. You can also align / constrain a reference plane to the wall face and use that. Works the same way in the vertical manor. There is a Reference Level and a Reference plane at the base of the wall.
