Customization of the Lighting Device OIP is done in the Spotlight Preferences dialog in the Lighting Device Parameters pane. Parameters in the OIP may have the same name but the worksheet name shown in the dialog must be unique. When importing data the worksheet name will be used to match fields.

The large one is a group made up of hybrid symbols. The smaller one is group of groups containing only 3D geometry. Also the instructions from Justin on how to create truss are designed to be used with the truss plugin object. The truss object is designed to deal with truss symbols that contain both 2D and 3D geometry so it can be rotated unlike a simple symbol.

No, the origin of the light is always x=0, y=0, z. You only have control of the z location of the of the emitter in the lighting device symbol.

For a Vectorworks lighting device the origin of the light is always at x=0, Y=0, Z based on the location of the 3D locus in the lighting device symbol.

The plug-in itself needs to be signed by the developer. The old plug-in is not signed. An updated plug-in is available on MA's website and via the Install Partner Product command in Vectorworks.

What is your first universe? "Unlimited" is 255 universes. Vision always starts a universe 1 and and goes to universe 255. Have you verified that your console is outputting more that 16 universes?

CreateResourcePopup() uses a resource list so you need to use ResList_GetSel().

Can you post the Vectorworks, MVR and MA3 files? New devices will be created if the GUIDs for for the MVR and the Vectorworks do not match. Somewhere along the process the IDs are being changed or not saved properly. We need to look at all the files involved along the way to see where the ID is changing.

@LiteDoctor I spoke with our support team and content developers. They are investigating the issue and working a a fix.

Yes, we do it all the time and it does not require the VizKey. You want to select the machine's IP address an NOT the loop-back adapter in the MA3. Vectorworks listens and broadcasts on all open network interfaces. I usually start the session on the MA3 and create the group there. In Vectorworks I can then select the group from the list to make the connection. If you create the group in Vectorworks you have to remember to correctly type the group name in the MA3. Setting it up and using the xchange in MA requires a few more manual steps. https://help.malighting.com/grandMA3/2.0/HTML/remote_inputs_mvr.html

Neutrik only allows the use of the powerCON®, powerCON® TRUE1, etc. on devices that use the official Neutrik connector. Since not all devices use the official Neutrik connector we have to use generic names. The generic name for the powerCON® TRUE1 is Power Twist CBC. CBC stands for "connector with breaking capacity" which is what makes the powerCON® TRUE1 unique. If you add the connector I recommend you also that is is connectable with the Power Twist CBC.

Vision does not see "Channels" shown are only there for user convenience. Vision is only going to see DMX data. What DMX addresses are being controlled by those channels? If you are trying to do something specific we need to know what mode you are using in Vision and look at the specific attribute/DMX address you are trying to control.

The L-Acoustics Export Plug-in for Vectorworks 2026 was released last week and is available in the Install Partner Products... command.
