So last week I had someone who doesn't own VW want to take a look at one of my files. I sent them the VWX file and said to find the VW Viewer for iOS and you should be all set to go. I come to find out that VW Viewer is not a "thing" anymore. So I tried the nomad app and the only option I am given is to show my file in 3D. Not helpful when you want to show someone a ground plan or light plot. This seems like a no-brainer and I know that I can convert the vwx file to pdf and then send it away, but it is just more work when it used to be much easier. Or am I missing something... Thanks, Pat

This one seems like a no brainer! When running the "Create Multiple Viewport" command, it would be really helpful to be able to either choose which sheet layer to place the VPs in OR create a new sheet layer. Thanks, Pat

Following! LED Tape light PIO should be a thing. #takemymoney

I went ahead and got the Oculus Go. It is compatible with Unity...I’ll give it a go! Thanks! Pat

I am wanting to give VR a try and wondering what some good VR goggles would be? I am looking at the Occulus Go as it is not terribly high priced and is probably of good quality. Just want to make sure it works with VW and probably sketchup. Thoughts?!

At some point will Vision's version numbers match it's name. I'm pretty sure I'm running some version of Vision 2018 but based on the screen grab "about" version, I'm in 23.0.2.bunch of numbers. This probably means something to an engineer, but to a user, it means nothing. thanks, Pat

It seems odd, but every time I start Vision I have to reset the DMX provider to Sacn. Is there a setting I can change so I don’t need to do this? Thanks Pat

Sorry I am late getting back to this, but as Eddy says, there is a bunch of low poly 3D items in Vision that would be killer if they could be inserted into the model/plot in Spotlight. Hopefully that makes sense! Pat @Edward Joseph Dumb question, but where are all of the Vision object libraries stored on a Mac? Thanks! Pat

This possibly is more of a wish list item, but I thought I'd see if this was "in the works" before posting in the other group. It would be REALLY cool if all of the low poly objects in vision could be available in Spotlight as it would save a step. If this is currently possible somehow, I am all ears. If not, would this be a good wishlist item?! Thanks, Pat

Thanks Eddie! The only thing I think I'm doing different *maybe*, is that sometimes when I enter the focus point in the OIP I just select the next fixture and don't hit enter. Either way I do it the Focus point shows up in the OIP. I'm going to try your experiment on my end. Thanks again, Pat

Just an update on this thread. My fixtures were still not focusing correctly in Vision to the points I set in VW. Curtains don't have anything to do with my particular problem. Now, if I right click on a fixture in VW, select "Focus Instruments" and select the FP, it WILL work in Vision. I tried an experiment by typing directly into the OIP Focus field. On another fixture, I left the OIP focus field empty and did the right click thing. The first fixture wasn't focused anywhere and the second fixture was focused exactly where it was supposed to be. Selecting each fixture and right clicking is kind of a pain in the ass. Is this a bug cause I sure hope it isn't a feature. Pat

As a paid Dropbox user, this is something I could get behind. Here is the DB / Autodesk setup: https://www.dropbox.com/business/app-integrations/autodesk

Eddie, You helped me with this a couple of weeks ago and for the life of me I can't remember what you told me. I have some LED strip lights that are pointing almost straight up in the air in Vision. On my VW plot I used the "Set 3D rotation" to get them pointing downstage, but on "Send to Vision" they are still pointing almost straight up. I'm forgetting something! Thanks! Pat

Thanks Eddie! If I want to use ETC offline (which I use all the time), I just need to ensure that it is broadcasting either artnet or sACN. Do I need to use any particular ip address to "connect" the two applications? Thanks again, Pat

Is there a way to "home" moving lights in Vision? Better yet, is there a way to have the fixtures pre-homed when imported from VW? Second question. How do I control moving lights in vision? I.e., pan/tilt/color/gobo, etc? there is the ability to shutter/iris/etc my conventionals, I just haven't figured out how to do this for my movers/leds. When getting real work done, I have a dedicated computer with vision connected to my ETC ION and everything works great. But for just a quick look see, it would be really helpful to have these controls. Thanks much, Pat
