Hi Dave, Thnx for getting back so quickly! Thanks for the tip, I wasn't aware this new plugin was available. Awesome! I was checking the plugin just now and noticed that the light is attached within the Geometry, therefore the light is being blocked. Only the volumetric light is showing. Since that doesn't take the Geo into account. Will this be addressed in a future update or within the USD export functionality? See two photos attached:

Hi, I was wondering if there are any plans for the near future to expand on the export options to Omniverse regarding the export of light fixture data? If you export a fixture to Omniverse it only exports the geometry and not the light and fixture info. Would be great to have this option available to be able to export a light design straight to Omniverse / Unreal Thnx Cheers, Ridder

Apologies. I see it doesn't overwrite but creates a new folder with the files in the first folder. Is there no way to overwrite the current file? In Unreal it will keep making new folders, because a new file is being imported.

Hi, I installed version 2022 of Vectorworks and when overwriting a Datasmith file Vectorworks crashes. When I reopen Vectorworks and overwrite the Datasmith file it works. Anybody else experiencing the same issue? Cheers,

Hi, Any update on this? Cheers,

Hi Andrew and Scott, Thanks for the quick replies guys! Ah, nice one. That was exactly the one I was refering too! Awesome stuff. Real eye opener in using the saved views too. Thnx Andrew! Scott, I presume you mean Design layher Viewport with DLVP? Regarding the last part of your post, would it be possible to animate the movement this way? Thnx! Cheers, Ridder

Hi, I've been using Vectorworks for a over a year now and the new truss tool that came out in 2018 is a great inprovement on the workflow! The only struggle I find myself in is the following. When you setup for example a triangulair truss shape with the new truss tool you can set the angle when placing the truss. When you wanna change that angle later on in the design proces you can't change the angle anymore since the option is not available in the Object info pallete. It's available with the 'straight truss tool". On the other hand you have the well known hybrid object error. I came acroos this tutorial on service select: https://forum.vectorworks.net/index.php?/forum/13-entertainment-and-previsualization/&do=add in which this Light designer used an interesting work around with viewports on a design layher. Is this the only way into rotating a truss rig on the x and y axes? Thanks in advance. Cheers, Ridder
