Workflow by Darren Snook:
steps are as follows

• Place the component into the 3D model onto its host face
• Right click the component and 'Edit Family'. 
• In the Family Category Parameters, uncheck the 'Work Plane-Based' box 
• Reload into the project
• Place the Legend Components into the Legend with the required extra views
• Re-edit the family, Re-check the 'Work Plane-Based' box and re-load

Have you created a heap of wall based families that you would like convert to face based?  Jarod Schultz provides a nice workaround for this.  Essentially, you Link and then Copy/Monitor the elements, then when you use the Edit Family button, Revit swaps them to Face based for you!

"Get into a 3D view so it is easier to see your linked file and the lighting fixture. We are now going to use the “Copy/Monitor -> Select Link” tool to “Copy” in the light fixture."
