Hey everyone, just trying to figure out if there is a way of attaching a editable lighting fixture to a symbol/plugin object? The show im on has 3d geometry that repeats multiple times. inside this geometry, there are multiple LED strips (everyone with a unique dmx and fixture number) is there anyway i can attach the lighting fixture to the symbol, so whenever i place the symbol in my drawing the lighting fixtures get placed with it?

Hi Joshua, In a perfect world, all the above. We have been using Wysiwyg as well as a few other programs to generate paperwork for the last 2 years. and the solution we came up with was to draw a line to denote the strip, but that only works for 2d. We would love to be able to render in 3d, as well as use Vision if possible. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I have a question i cant find an answer to. I work film and television, and i am evaluating vectorworks to see if this can help us streamline our patching and paperwork. The show i am on currently uses thousands of LED strip lights (also referred to as LED ribbon) and 24v/12v LED decoders. They are being used as accent lighting absolutely everywhere, door surrounds, walls, tables, anywhere/everywhere... With vectorworks, how would i go about adding these in? is there a way to make geometry of the set be considered a fixture? or am i stuck just assigning a dmx and fixture number to a decoder model in vectorworks? i would prefer to be able to previs in 3d if that is possible. Thanks in advance! -Adam
