[Autoplot VW Truss tape plugin request]

What is the possibility of the Truss Tape Plugins being implemented to 2017 from Autoplot VW?

It is a VERY valuable tool, The new Dimension Tape plugin is useless since you can not export the information via the User Fields, keeping me from making labels for truss tapes.

 

 

[Focus Object]

I seem to remember that you could create a Focus Symbol, for example take a symbol of a piano and make the entire symbol a focus point. Is this possible to do without creating a focus point or am I thinking of a different software.

[Nvidia Quadro K5000 settings for Vectorworks]

Greetings

Does anyone know the best settings for the Nvidia Quadro K5000 to work with Vectorwork 2013. I just installed it and Vectorworks seems to run slower than the Nvidia GTX 580 I had in the machine before.

I'm starting to wonder if the $2 I spent on the graphics card was worth it.

[Problem inserting fixture with "Show/Snap" class opiton]

Greetings,

I'm using Design 2013 with Jan 18 SP update

I have created truss and converted it to a lighting position.

I keep truss and lights on separate layers for plotting purposes.

When I try to insert a lighting fixture on the same class as the truss it works fine. If I change class to other than the truss class and insert the fixture it will snap to the object but when I place it is appears below 0' and does not hang on the truss. The only way that will work inserting a fixture on a truss on a different class if I have the "Show/Snap/Modify other" turn on in the classes options . Why cant I do the same thing with the "Show/Snap" option

[Anybody created a macro for "repeat last command]

Greetings All,

Is there, or has anybody created a macro to repeat the last command, similar to AutoCadd's right click option. I'm finding it tedious to continue running though menu's

Thanks

[Cordinates relative to lighting postion and not origin]

THANK YOU! That is exactly what I was looking for.

[Cordinates relative to lighting postion and not origin]

Hi Shelley,

I would agree with your thinking, My hopes is that someone might be able to write an add on that would take a coordinate from the hanging position and each lighting fixture and do the math to give a distance from a set point, either the start or center of the hanging positions.

[Cordinates relative to lighting postion and not origin]

Has anyone had any luck on exporting the position of a lighting fixture relative to the start of a lighting position and not the origin. I.E.

The start of a 10'lighting position starts at (10',15') with 5 fixtures evenly spaced with the first fixture 5" from the start of the lighting position. instead of the first fixture being at (10'5",15') I would just like to have the measurement of (0'5"). Of course I would want this to happen in any axis of the x and y planes.

I know this involves some complex math, and I would even be willing to purchase a plug-in if someone was able to create this option

Thanks

[How to Create a Vertical Lighting Postion?]

Thank you for the help, but I don't understand why this is so difficult. On complex raked lighting positions, this will be a BigPITA!!. On the other 3 software programs I use for designs, I don't have any problems with 3d not to mention doing the same effect with half the steps.

Is this a concern to Nemetsheck or just another inconvenience I have to deal with?

[How to Create a Vertical Lighting Postion?]

OK, Ive been fighting with this for over an hour.

Ive tried to rotate a lighting position for a vertical torm position. Spotlight will only allow me to draw/Rotate/Convert lighting positions in the Plan view.

I have been searching the help PDF but haven't fount anything to assist in doing this

Any Help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks
