Thanks for taking a look Mark. I think I just sort of resolved the issue. The light emitters do show up when I am on a design layer and running any renderworks. However when I shift to a sheetlayer and renderworks camera they are no longer visible. So I guess that's just how they behave. and re-reading your response a 3rd time I see what you are now saying haha. Thank you!!

Hello, I added some 3d Loci and assigned them as light emitters to give my strip light a nice even wash. Only issue is the light emitters are rendering in renderworks along with the light. I assigned them to the NonPlot-Loci class within the fixture to no avail. Does anyone have insight on this? I followed this video https://university.vectorworks.net/mod/page/view.php?id=1180 Thanks!

Hey @BartHays thanks for checking my file! I restarted and still the same issue. Very odd and my other files are working ok. Hopefully someone else is willing to take a look as well. I am on 2024 Update 4.1. Meanwhile I tried a new file and used some older fixtures (Diablo) and they work in Renderworks but this ETC Source 4 LED Series 3 Lustr X8 seems to have issues with renderworks. That file is attached if anyone wants to take a look. ETC Source 4 LED Series 3 Lustr X8 Issue.vwx

They show up fine in Shaded and I have cast shadows checked. What am I missing here? Really appreciate any help. VWX file attached. BLACKBOX.vwx

Hello! I am trying to title a series of video inputs on my signal diagram and don't want to manually enter each name. I have imported a reference excel and am unable to find any way to display an entry (for example testexcel::A1) as the contents of a text object. Can you reference regular internal worksheets in text objects? What is the syntax for this? Do I need to create some sort of data tag? Thank you!

I figured it out! I had saved views to navigate between my show file and the schematics page... As I created the new LAN and USB connections they were not included in the saved view. Resolved 😆

Also is happening with custom LAN RJ45 to LAN RJ45 connections as well. I did create a fresh document and these issues are not present... curious how I can fix this in my real show file. Thx!

Hello. I have two custom built devices. One is an Anker USB-C Hub and the other is a Streamdeck XL. When I begin to draw a connection from one of the USB ports I cannot see the line as I click along. If I connect it with a non-USB port the line then appears. If I go USB to USB it disappears. Interestingly when I move the device around I do see cable reshaping and following along but disappears again when I stop moving the device around.

Hello, I want to create a symbol chair that has a person seated in it. Everything gets created ok but once I swap out the chairs in the seating section the boundary box of my new symbol throws everything off... how do I set a custom bounding box so that it matches the previous symbol chair? That way I can swap out as needed without affecting the seating section... thx!

There it is! Thank Pat!

Hello. I am going through the certification tutorial and noticed that I am unable to see the little context bubble nearby the selection tool when you hover over things (says stuff like "Horizontal" "Endpoint") or are in the process of finding the tangent of an arc. How do I turn this back on? Thank you!
