So, have you incorporated additional 2D Views into your lighting device symbols?

As IO recall, the higher the number, the closer to the original object, I think you have a choice of 1-5 and it defaults to three.If you're tracing an in k drawing, going higher will get every bump or bleed int he image, adding lots, perhaps too much detail. It's pretty fast and then easy enough to quickly experiment. The AI trice function is better, but you then have to export to DXF, use Select Connected Objects and Combine into a new surface.

Ai and VWX both have Trace Bitmap functions.

you might need the right or bounces. If I am seeing correctly, you might be expecting the light to travel through the glass like it might in real life, but it won't. At least not with existing tech. I Sometimes extract a 3D poly from those edges and apply a glow texture.

File>Document Settings>?Document Preferences and then check Show Cropped Perspective will fix in VWX, not sure then about export to C4D

The Color Shader

Maybe change to a middle gray solid color?

I also think a 'new' option should be in the tool bar.

Or trace and remodel. Or save as a symbol and add 2D components.

In the OPIP, with the door selected, go to settings and then classes and use a class to add the texture.

And this has to be a part of a presentation?

I'm a little unclear on this capability. Can I create panoramas of two different, adjacent rooms and then click from one room into another?

pretty much exactly this.

So, as I read this you want different types of hoists to be collected as long as they are over 1000 lbs. As opposed to selecting just a specific type of hoist? I don't have the answer, but this seems a reasonable VE If not possible.
