I need to place a troffer light to the ceiling be surface mounted. I tried to modify the fixture family by moving the ceiling above the fixture, but the fixture still shows recessed mounted in section view. Please help. Thanks.

Don't use a troffer, they are recessed. You can find surface mounted lights in the dowloads. If you like the troffer "look" - edit the family to move it mbelow the ceiling.

Yes, I want to keep the troffer "look". I couldn't find a surface mount troffer in the Downloads.
I guess my question should be "how can I modify the troffer family?" I moved the reference level line above the fixture, but that didn't work.

Remember, I said don't use a trofferYou would be better off to use a surface mtd flourescent and add the box. Much simpler.

If your light doesn't recess, then its not a recessed light no matter what it is called. Find a different fixture.
