    Hardware tests and Data

    Yes. Vision 2021 has moved to OpenGL 4.1 and we weren't able to get the text overlays working properly. We also found some bugs in the reporting, which I believe have been mostly corrected (but since the reporting is no longer public, this information is internal only).

     

    We had a very rough POC for putting FPS into the status bar (near the NDI status bar indicator). This is much simpler to achieve than a text overlay in the viewport, but does come with the downside that it is a single FPS counter for the entire program (and not an FPS counter per viewport). There are obvious ways we could remedy this (the most obvious being adding an FPS counter into the statusbar for each visible viewport, with some identifier as to which counter refers to which viewport).

     

    It would definitely be interesting to hear from users here on the forums if they preferred the text overlay on the viewport, or if a status bar counter would be sufficient.

     

    Alternatively, and the current suggestion/workaround, use a third party application for detecting FPS of Vision.

    Universe Data Visualisation

    in Entertainment

    Posted

    So I finally get some time to fiddle around with this but I found myself not being able to get the "Lighting Device" record to show up when filtering.

     

    When I apply my criteria I can see it:

    But when I want to select the universe field to "color it up" I'm not seeing it, am I missing something?

    I've done the same workflow for truss and motors and that was no problem...

    purge colors

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    So I've been trying to get rid of the Colors that appear in the Fill and Pen List under Active document, is there any way of achieving this? Can't see the item under the Purge command...

     

    I tried deleting everything from the file, run the Purge command twice but nothing gets rid of the Colors from the list.

    Image in Worksheet

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Haven't tried this for a couple of years and note being able to make it work. Trying to make a basic list of symbols.

     

    My first column is =('Lighting Device'.'Inst Type')

    Second column =IMAGE

    Third column =COUNT

     

    I get absolutely nothing, no image, no count in the database header. Cell Format is set to Thumbnail-Top Plan View.

     

    I've tried:

    - different scales

    - Different view and render types in the cell format

    - Inserting Cireteria into de IMAGE column (Only difference here is I get a count in the database header and a TRUE or FALSE value but no image.

    - Generate a report

    - Create a new worksheet from scractch

    - New file and worksheet

     

    Any ideas? Bug?

     

    VW 2017 Network Setup

    in Troubleshooting

    Posted

    @orso b. schmid I haven't had any time to play around with 2020 until know. I did convert all the files and made a new folder, I'm trying to figure it out but haven't had any success.

     

    Here is how I see thing in 2019 (and how I've seen for the past years) in the resource manager:

    When trying to use a plug in as the title block (I can see me workgroup folder and navigate to title block for instance) I see this:

    But in 2020 I don't get the second workgroup folder even though it is configured the same as before.

    Any ideas?

    DMX Transforms

    in Vision and Previsualization

    Posted

    I've used DMX transform for quite some time, only to move thing up and down, besides dealing with inches to figure out heights works great.. Today I wanted to rake a truss con "variable speed hoist" and found out the now (I believe this was not the case of old and beloved Vision 2.3) everything rotates around the local origin, this is also stated in the manual. Is there any workaround to get thing to rotate on the object axis? If not, I cannot figure out one good reason to rotate anything around the local origin in the entertainment world... Please someone explain what the benefit would be....

     

    EDIT: I did find a workaround, if you place the whole object you want to move centered to the local origin in VW, it will rotate on its center. The only problem with that is that you have to move everything again in Vision in inches.... I really do hope I'm missing something here...

    New Patch system and Vision 2020 Export

    Vectorworks is using the MVR data format and this can not be changed. You will need to have the following a Channel number (the number you use to select the device in the console), a Universe, and a DMX Address.  there are new fields in the Lighting Device for 2020 that will give you some display options you can find more in the Vectorworks help 

    I can see the DMX address field in the OIP but not in the spotlight numbering ergo I cannot patch with that tool.

     

    It's good both apps are following a standard, it would just be nice to have this stated somewhere in the manual (at least I did not see it) since it will change workflows for people.

    Beforehand I think this is great and something we've asked for some time, so Thanks!

     

    On the other hand, I haven't found any information that specially shows how it works so here are some questions:

    - I am guessing that the "Channel" field has to be the Unit number, can this be changed?

    - I've tried to use the numbering tool to get the DMX address populated but haven't found it, is the patch window the only way to get it done? If so, this is something to reconsider...

    - I've seen the Vision data mapping has vanished and for what I've tried it uses the same fields as the patch window, is this correct? Is this editable?
