In the Light Info Record attached to the light symbol, edit the Inst Type field. That's where the summary key grabs the name from.

Please share your file, or a sample file with what you're working with so we can take a look.

Can you post a small test file with what you're trying to renumber?

Not that this helps today, but I can share that a new LED Tool has been moved from "Scheduled" to "In Development" and the public roadmap. https://www.vectorworks.net/en-US/public-roadmap should be updated soon to show it.

Would you please copy two of each light and the summary key into a new blank file and share it? It'll help us figure out what's happening.

Is the LED tape a symbol, a line, and 3D extrude, etc? Can you post an example file with a section of the object you're trying to split into sections?

Thanks for this. It is a terrific contribution to the community.
The Distro symbols look terrific. They need additional parts and circuit assignments to make them offer power calculations. Let me know if you need guidance for this.
Thanks, Scott

I’m not sure there’s a way to turn that off and I’m away from my computer. However, when the chain of the hoist you’re working with is not long enough to achieve the height being specified, a bridal is inserted. If you edit the hoist record and the chain length to be long enough, it shouldn’t insert the top bridal.

Spotlight cables allow you to add slack at the start or end of cables.
You can also subtract slack from the cable. You can use a negative number in the cable configuration and/or the cable worksheet slack column, which will change the cable. In a worksheet, you can select all the cables attached to two-fers or breakouts and place a negative number in the slack data field. You might need to update and then/reload the cables via the manage cable parts dialog to force a cable refresh.In other words, if you use a 10' breakout, you can deduct the 10' from the cables connected to the breakout. We're working on making it automatic. But for now, this is the workflow.

You can connect a pipe with a clamp symbol in place of a truss cross, but... At the moment, you can only attach pipes running across truss vs. parallel along the length of the truss, like a tail down. We're working on fixing this.

Vert Drop is on Part Sec 2 but needs to be on Part Sec 1.
Playing with the slack fields might help here. But, you might need to move the break point. I haven't played with this in the way you describe.

Quickest way is to add five or ten feet to the Slack fields.

It's not you, it's us. Daisy chaining is actively being worked on, and I hope to share when it will be properly implemented. The power tool doesn't recognize an output when placed inside a "consumer." For now, the workaround is to use two-fers to force the lights to link together which bypasses the output of each light.

Hello, the picture you show is of the prior version of the cable tools. If you want to continue using the workflow offered via this version, @Sam Jones offers an updated version.
The current version of VW cable and power tools has a different method of making cables. The cables are stored in the Cable.vwx files found in the RM. -
Here's a "Coffee Break" presentation from a few weeks ago showing how cable tools and power planning works. I think it will help get you started.

If you're having trouble with a particular file, please post a test file so we can take a look and give you some help. -

Working in VWX 2025 Update1
Would you please install update 2.1 and then try again. If you're still having trouble, please post a file for us to test.
Thanks, Scott

My first thought is to add individual loads and use the duplicate array tool's circular mode to copy them around the circle. Depending on the size of the circle, I'd place several loads based on numbers devisable by 360 and add the weight of the total divided by the number of points.

Scott has been playing with using Hybrid tools to put the seats in a section of my imported model
Actually, what I did in that file was all via the seating tool.

When I want to change the Trusses that are drawn at 90,01° to 90° I can not do it for the entire length at once, I have to do it 1 by 1. And by the time I put the 3th one correctly, the 1st one has placed himself back to 90,01°.
Please post an example file for testing.
Thanks, Scott

if i force 12 seats it justifies to the left or right not center)
On 11/21/2024 at 8:42 AM, Peter Telleman said:I wonder, when you set the primary fill to center out, it puts the center of a chair in the center, therefor not filling the space to the max. Isn't there a standard setting where VW can fill to maximum capacity, but deciding on width of the box whether to center one chair, or center between two chairs
Centering seems to only work with odd numbers of chairs in rows. I'm submitting a bug about this, but it'll be a while before it's looked at.

Then open the cable part manager update it .
all my change appear but also all the part I don't need
I tried to record the file in my user file, but I 've the same result ,
I tried to rename the file in vector folder with , but I 've the same result ,
the only way I've found is to move the file , then it works as I wantI think what's happening is that when you update the cables via the cable manager, it reads all files in the cable folder. It doesn't care what the names are; it looks inside all the VW files present. This is why you had success when you moved the unwanted file instead of simply renaming the file.
What happens when you choose the file name you have created using the Use Cable Set dropdown in the cable preferences dialog? The dropdown will show all the possible files. Once you set the set to be used, all cables should pull from only that file.

I played for a bit, and these examples all use the seating tool to place seats on the risers. They're not perfect, but they're really close.
The most versatile section is the one I split into three separate sections.
For me, once I have my curvature, seat row spacing, rise value, etc., all figured out, placing seats around the stadium could be efficient and require tweaks when needed.
I am working on a list of enhancements for the seating tool's future development. While playing with this, I found a new one. Restarting seat numbering when an aisle is inserted would be a time saver.
Please share other improvement ideas, and I'll add them to my list.
