Thanks so much Pat.

Hey Guys, For some strange reason my antivirus is picking up a certain file as malware in VW2019 and quarantining it, therefore preventing me from opening VW. Below are the details: File Name: C:/Program Files\Vectorworks 2019\Plug-Ins\Plug-In Support.vlb Threat Name: Gen:Variant.Bulz.14887 Has anyone experienced this?

Unfortunately I have not found a work around yet, I've tried all sorts of methods. I hope the VW team resolves this soon. I would love to use gobos in my renders more often.

Thanks so much. Yes, totally, I have been doing so but still not much luck unfortunately. Will let you know if i find anything.

Still having this problem in VW2019. Has anyone found a solution by any chance? For me it's pretty random, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Tried pretty much everything in this thread plus replacing fixtures and playing with beam angles and focus. Nothing really works consistently.

Benson, you are the man. Thank you for this tip even if it is 10 years later.

Dammit!! That did it. Thank you.

Hi Guys, Hoping someone can help. I've created a loft surface and added a texture. When i render in either custom or OpenGL all i get is a wireframe mesh render. Does any one know what i might be doing wrong?

Thanks so much Paulo. Will try this and let you know.

Hi Guys, Anyone else experiencing issues with SP3.1 update on W10? Basic functions are taking incredibly long to execute. for example, The softgoods tool freezes VW temporarily for about 5min every time I use the tool. Extremely frustrating. Importing 3ds files are also taking forever to execute and sometimes crashes VW. I didn't have this issue with SP3. Any help would be appreciated.

Hey Guys, I know this is an old post but I'm having a similar issue with certain light symbols in vw2019sp2. When I rotate a symbol using 3D orientation in the OIP, only certain parts of the symbol rotate while the others stay fixed. I've noticed it happens mainly to symbols that have nested objects. Is there a magic way to fix this by editing the symbol directly? Thanks in advance.

Thanks a mil Mark. Yes exactly. Will try this workaround in the meantime. Just a note to anyone who is using this workaround. Make sure you tick the "plug-in parameters" check box in the eyedropper tool settings before using the tool. Cheers.

Hi Guys, Anyone having this issue with the instrument summary text? All text disappears. The only way to solve it at the moment is inserting a new summary which is a pain since I need to re-do all my summary settings every time. Thanks in advance.

Having the same issue.

Easiest fix is to move the file to your desktop and work on it from there. Once done you can move it back to where ever you need for archive.
