I am looking for a way to create a canvas texture. It should be able to be backlit, showing the silhouette of whatever is behind it, and not let beams of light through (like a glass texture). Anybody have any thoughts? Thanks, Kyle

Is there a way to count the generic truss? My problem for this show is I have a lot of corner blocks and various lengths of truss throughout the rig. I would love to be able to use the count function and see a spreadsheet of all the sticks I need. Is this possible without converting everything to a symbol? Kyle Attached is a portion of my truss layout. What's the best way to get a count without measuring each run and counting sticks?

Is there any easy way in Vectorworks 2012 to do a count of all truss used in the drawing?

Hey All, Is there anyway to lock a symbol in an orientation when editing, to ensure it doesn't rotate? Also, to ensure that all future instances of that symbol are inserted in the same orientation and also can't rotate. Working on some custom symbols I need to lock, but can't figure this out! I have tried going in to edit the symbol, select all, (right click), lock. This doesn't do anything when replacing other symbols (in multiple orientations) with this locked symbol. Basically, when going to Spotlight>Replace Instrument and selecting this custom instrument, I want it always to be facing in the same direction. Sorry if this is a bit confusing, but I don't know how else to explain it.
