[Human Figure Tool]

one of my students downloaded the 2016 VW student version and in Spotlight (well all) Workspaces the Human Figure Tool has disappeared - any Idea where it went - sort of not good to not show actors - even in the Library there are no figures

[booms (not ladders) in VW 2014]

how do I create single side pipes (not ladders - no rungs) in 2014 using the "lighting pipe ladder tool" or do I still need to use Plot and Model view

[attaching instrument to position]

got it - yikes that makes no sense

thanks -

[attaching instrument to position]

so I just started trying out VW 14 - using the light pipe tool for first time - created the pipe - in OIP set z to 18' - then the Light insertion tool to place light - I get a snap que - but the units refuse to snap to the pipe -

any ideas what I'm missing - seems like I did this fine in old versions when made own light pipe

thanks

[running instrument inventory?]

is there an easy way to create an instrument inventory that updates as you make changes in the plot? - or just delete and create a new one as you go

thanks

I know how to create a custom title block but is there some way to change the default border to be my custom one - guess I can save it as a template but would like the border tool to use my border style
