Make sure you are using update Vectorworks 2025 Update 2. It contains some fixes for sACN. By the look of the screen shot it appears to be responding to Pan/Tilt because it's not in the home position? Make sure the light is turned on when you view the light in Shaded mode. Try changing your DMX provider to ArtNet, exit the dialog and change it back to sACN. Make sure your fixture mode or GDTF mode is set the same as Eos.

You should be using imaged based textures and not procedural generated textures when you need to export to other applications fro rendering, See this positing for details.

It's still there. Make sure you are in the proper workspace.

@RHagel This issue has been resolved in Vectorworks 2025 Update 2.1. Please see the post for the additional details.

This is a known issue with Vectorworks 2025 Update 2. Vectorworks 2025 Update 2.1 was recently released to address this issue and a few others. An official announcement with the details should be posted soon but the updater should be available now.

@Kenickety L-Acoustics Export to Soundvision Plugin is now available for Vectorworks 2025.

@Ben3B Please check with your local tech support team. It looks like you are using the localized French version? This looks like a localization issue that will be corrected in an update.

@Mark AcetoThe Default Instrument Texture is set the allow fixtures to emit light. Applying other textures without the proper settings, or no texture, will block the light.

See the section on Setting a video file or input for 3D geometry The important thing to remember is that you have to texture the object and map the texture in Vectorworks using a texture that is the same size a your source video. Vision uses the texture mapping from Vectorworks to map and scale the video properly.

@Stig Runar Bi-Directional transfer if the geometry and speaker data is the long term goal. Transferring the geometry from Vectorworks is the first step.

There is no Vision menu in Vectorworks. There are menu commands in the File menu to export and send the Vectorworks file to Vision. You might be thinking of new Showcase feature which provides Vision like visualizations directly in Vectorworks. The Showcase menus are available under the Spotlight menu in the workspace. You can look at the Vectorworks help on Showcase for more details.

This might be an erroneous error. Do you get the error when you click the test compile icon when editing the script or do you only see it when you exit the plug-in manager? If you are just getting the error when you exit the plug-in manager try actually using the plug-in in the blank document to see if the error is real.

L-Acoustics is working on it but no ETA. See:

The feedback is being improved in Update 2. You are NOT required to be logged in when using the "Update GDTF files". This is a limitation of the GDTF-Share site. When you use the command in Vectorworks you are opening the GDTF-Share site the same way you would open the site in an independent web browser. We are working with the site to extend logout time. You will see some improvements in this in Update 2. You will not be able to select the GDTF file from the tool options but you will see some improved behavior when inserting fixtures that have been updated using the "Update GDTF files" command.

Everything that was in Premium has been included with the standard Libraries. Try refreshing the libraries first. From the Resource Manager select the gear icon and then select Refresh Libraries. If that does snot work you many need to manually clear the Resource Manager Cache. Windows - Delete Resource Manager Cache: -First close Vectorworks if it's running. -Go to the following location: C:\Users\YOUR_USER_NAME\AppData\Roaming\Nemetschek\Vectorworks RMCache -Delete the desired, 'rm20##" folder Mac - Delete Resource Manager Cache: -Close Vectorworks if it's running -CMD + Shift + G -Type: ~/Library/Application Support/Vectorworks RMCache -Then Click, "Go" -Move the desired 'rm20##' folder to the trash -Restart the computer

The legacy hoist tool is just that legacy. It remains in Vectorworks to aid in working with older documents that have been translated to newer versions. The legacy hoist tool is no longer supported or developed. Everyone should use the updated hoist tool when placing hoists into new documents. All legacy tools are subject being removed completely at any point in time.

What is the failure message? If you use the 1 ton hoist what forces does it report on the hoist? Braceworks has some user configurable safety factors as well as some default loads. So, with the default values, if you loads are close to 80% of the 1/2 ton hoist rating Braceworks will consider that as overloading a 1/2 ton hoist.

What is the error message?

One of the things that always comes up when people compare Braceworks calculations to manual calculations or load tables is that Braceworks includes a safety factor. Braceworks uses the default safety factor that is required by the eurocode standard. Setting the safety factor to 0 in the Braceworks Preferences will give results that will be closer to hand calculations and the load tables supplied by many US manufacturers.

With Vectorworks 2025 all Spotlight licenses now have access to Vision with unlimited universes. You can contact your sales representative if your license for Vision 2025 need to be updated. (Students are still limited to 4 Universes of Vision.) The one thing I recently confirmed with MA is that you MUST start Vision or Showcase first so that they take control of the Viz-Key. If you quit Vision or Showcase MA will take possession of the Viz-Key and you will have to relaunch the MA3. There is currently no way to force the MA3 to release the Viz-Key ther than to restart the MA3. The only exception is when you are using MA3 onPC and Vision/Showcase on the same machine. There is a setting on the MA3 to allow the visualizer to keep control of the Viz-Key. See: https://help.malighting.com/grandMA3/2.1/HTML/onpc_onpc_settings.html

Braceworks can only calculate loads for suspended structures. It currently not capable of calculating a ground supported load. Additionally there is no structural data provided for the lift. You can hang the truss using 2 hoists if you want to approximate the loads but this will give you slightly different results than actually ground support calculations.

Once released try running the full Vectorworks installer once Vectorworks 2025 Update 1 is released. We have updated the installer to add the proper entitlements for the Mac.

As part of the Vectorworks student2PRO program you can have watermarks removed from the files you created with your educational version while you were a student. You can contact your sales representative for details.

With Vectorworks 2025 just use the "Tilt" parameter. Positive numbers will tilt the TV towards the back of the TV.

That returns the internal ID of the object. The full list be available in the SDK. The basic values are here: https://developer.vectorworks.net/index.php?title=VS:Function_Reference_Appendix_D 517 is a Solid Addition 641 is TrussItem You may be traversing into the plug-in and finding the solid addition rather than the outer level TrussItem. The ID could change but it's rare. I usually use GetParametricRecord() and then GetName() to check the name of the record to see if it matches.
