Does anyone know of the syntax neccesary to access the parameters of a plug in object and use them as variables in Vector Script. Specificly, I would like to access (both read and write into variables) the parameter fields in the "Lighting Device" object in VWSpotlight. Thanks in advance, Jason

Vectoreworks will allow me to put a light object into a symbol and adjuct each instance of the symbol seperately in object properties. However when I add a light object to a symbol and try inserting it as an instrument, that capability vanishes. I think incoperating this functionality into instruments (which I understand as symbols with extra properties) would allow at least some of the visualiztion we are craving. Moreover, allowing Gobo Projectors to be part of a symbol that creates an instrument would be amazing. Any ideas from anyone? Jason

Am I going to cause any major operational problems by getting rid of some off the fields in the "Light Info Record". Specificly the "3D Symbol Name" and "Model Name" fields. I findd it kind of redundant to name the symbol 3 times. Does Spotlight access these records for anything I am not thinking about and moreover what was the intended difference between the three fields that essentially all name the symbol? Thanks, Jason
