  1. Hi guys. New Vectorworks user here. I'm using Vectorworks 2012 SP1 on Windows 7 x64 and I'm currently trying to draft my first lighting plot. I'm running into a problem when trying to visualize my design. It appears that ETC Source Four PAR and PARnel fixtures are misaligned in 3D when aimed at a focus point. When I check "Draw Beam", the beam is drawn correctly but if you zoom in on the fixture geometry in 3D you can see it's misaligned, and if I turn the light on and render a visualization the light is not aimed at the focus point as it should be. It seems like the more the fixture is rotated away from the horizontal normal line to the bar, the more it tilts upward. I'm using the provided ETC symbols from Libraries/Objects-Entertainment/Lighting-ETC.vwx I recreated this in as simple of a scene as possible to make sure it wasn't my complex file that was causing problems. Here's a screenshot to sum up the issue: The VWX file is attached below. I've submitted a technical support request as this seems like it's a bug, but if anyone could help me as well that would be great! Edit: Also worth noting that I had this problem in 2012 (no service packs) and SP1 did nothing to fix the issue (still exists) Thanks so much!
