Circular Ceiling Mounted Motion Sensor

This circular motion sensor is a face-based Revit family designed for seamless integration onto ceiling surfaces in BIM projects. This minimalist motion sensor features a clean, circular housing finished in a neutral white, suitable for unobtrusive installation in commercial or residential ceilings. The design includes a recessed, semi-spherical lens at the center, optimized for wide-angle occupancy detection. The geometry is simple and functional, focusing on a low-profile aesthetic that blends into standard suspended or plasterboard ceiling systems. The face-based hosting capability ensures the component automatically aligns with any planar surface, allowing for quick placement across various architectural models without manual rotation or complex constraints. Its compact form factor maintains a clean visual ceiling plan.

The download is a 256 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

As a face-based Revit family, this component is designed for efficient placement directly onto ceilings, soffits, or bulkheads within your model. Simply load the family into your project and use the 'Place on Face' command to snap it to the desired host. You can easily adjust its position within the ceiling grid or coordinate it with lighting plans. The family is lightweight, ensuring minimal impact on file performance, and can be scheduled alongside other electrical devices for comprehensive project documentation.
