VW 2024 Label Legend Not Working Properly
klinzey replied to Nina Agelvis's question in Troubleshooting
It looks like you have an option selected in "Use Single Label in:" in the label legend manager. The setting should be None, or 3D only if you want to see the layout you have setup in the label legend manager. If you post a file we can take a look. -
Soft Goods Multiple heights - Vectorworks 2024
klinzey replied to Vince Beck's topic in Entertainment
A file would help. Without the file the only other thought is that you are using a soft goods style and you are editing the style which will change all soft goods that use that style. -
Can't add gobo or color in Lighting Device edit menu.
klinzey replied to BScott's topic in Entertainment
You need to have the proper Fixture Mode selected. Those tabs only apply to the visualizer and you must have the proper mode selected in order to have the correct number of color and gobo wheel slots. Rendering in Vectorworks only uses the Color, Gobo 1 and Gobo 2 values. -
Symbol Truss Sixty82 TPM29s no braceworks
klinzey replied to Alexgay's question in Wishlist - Feature and Content Requests
The the structural cross section data for the sixty82 is not yet available in Braceworks so the truss is calculates as a rigid member. We are working to get the data added to Braceworks.- 1 reply

Try exporting with the detailed chain turned on. The simple 3D geometry representation of the chain work well for Vectorworks but may not convert well to other formats.

Containers do not automatically resize. If you want larger containers or different shape containers, draw the shape you want for the container and create a symbol from the shape. Place the symbol in the containers folder and the shape will be available for you to select when you use the label legend manager.

Yes, Importing the new resources into a new blank file would fix the fingerprint issue. It sounds like they added resources to a resource file that was supplied by Vectorworks and then sent you that file.
-
Do you mean fingerprinted or watermarked? Resource files supplied by Vectorworks are fingerprinted for a specific product; the individual resources in the file are not. Using a resource from a fingerprinted file will not fingerprint a new file. For a watermarked file ALL resources in the file are watermarked and using any of those resources in another file will watermark the new file and all the resources in the new file.

This is currently not possible. Light always starts from the emitting from the point source of the light. It is something we are looking to add as a future enhancement.

Seeking Solution for Fixture Selection Issue in Vectorworks
klinzey replied to Cristiano Alves's topic in Entertainment
You can also use Spotlight -> Find and Modify to select the fixtures or assign to a class. -
Convert to Truss is designed to take an existing Vectorworks symbol and the necessary data and structural information so it can be used by the truss tool. If you convert your geometry to a Vectorworks symbol and then you can use the Convert to Truss command to add the specialized truss data.
-
Also, those look like nested symbols consisting of a table symbol and multiple chair symbols contained in one symbol. I don't think the replace symbol command will replace symbols inside of other symbols.

Lighting Devices - Shutters - Light Dimming Issue
klinzey replied to George_Holder's question in Troubleshooting
This is a know issue and we are working on a fix. I think the issue only happens in dark mode, the dark shading shown in the preview dialog is also present when the light is rendered. -
Right now this is not possible because data can not be saved to a referenced layer/file. The 2 objects need to read and write data to and from each other in order to maintain a connection and allow structural calculations.

The Hoist works just like most other Vectorworks object. You can set the defaults for a document in the tool and then save it to a template file. Activate the hoist tool and then click on the preferences button (wrench and pencil) in the mode bar. A dialog similar to the OIP will open. Click the Classes button and set your default values here. Click OK to exit the classes dialog. You can set any other you would like while you are here. Click OK to exit the preference dialog. Now when you place a hoist it will use these settings by default.
