  1. Windows: C:\Documents and Settings\<UserName>\Application Data\Nemetschek\VectorWorks\12\Plug-ins Mac: Users:<UserName>:Library:Application Support:VectorWorks:12:Plug-ins
  2. Use the classes to turn the labels and containers on and off.
  3. It's probably a bad texture. Try deleting and reapplying the textures incluging textures applied to geometry within the symbols.
  4. Use fewer pleats in the drapes. There are a lot of lines in the drapes for the hidden line rendering to calculate.
  5. IP Resources.rsrc is corect for the Mac, and it should be in the plug-ins folder, but the file could be bad or the wrong version. The only other thing to try is repairing the disk permissions.
  6. Try running the 12.0.1 updater again especially if you are on the Mac. If that doesn't work install 12.0.0 and update to 12.0.1. If the IP Resources file is missing then a lot of things are not going to work and is is usually a sign of a bad install or update.
  7. Send onn of your files to tech@nemetschek.net and we can verrify that it is not a problem with the file. Also make sure that you are running 12.0.1, in 12.0.0 undo would sometimes cause the label legend to appear in the document, but regenerating the instrument will fix the problem. Try creating and assigning a new label legend to the instrument and see if that fixes the problem. Are you using Spotlight symbols? Some other third party software uses text linked to record within the symbol and using these symbols may cause differnet information to display.
  8. Yes, all 2D only objects will project onto the screen plane in a 3D view, check the project 2D option. But, the standard method for placing title blocks is to place them directly on the Sheet Layer along with the viewports. Do not include the title block in the viewport.
  9. The lit fog is just a Renderworks backround. It is applied on a Layer-By-Layer basis. So you would have to place your lights into differnet layers to apply different lit fog options.
  10. I think I answered this on the theatre list too, but... Either double click on the instrument or click the edit button. You can select the focus point in the dialog. Sometimes the OIP needs to be refreshed when parameters are added. Making any change tho the object should cause the OIP to update and the parameters should appear.
  11. You should be able to do as Patric said. Open the "Label Legends" folder and import the symbols into your new document. You should create a "Label Legend" folder in the new document and place them there. You should also create a "Containers" folder and import the "containers" from the other file. This will preserve any custom containers that you have created.
  12. Upgrade to 12.0.1 and you will have the lit fog option in the OIP of the lighting device. Trun the brihtness down and set the density of the fog down before you render.
  13. If you are editing a single instrument you should not see the Next and Back buttons. If you see the buttons when editing a single instrument, then make all the layers editable and deselect all. This bug is fixed and should be in the 12.0.1 release.
  14. Onec you have created a symbol attatch the Circuiting Record and the Panel Record to the symbol. The easiest way to do this is to import the record fromat from ...\Libraries\Objects-Imperial\16_Electrical_Panels.mcd Search for "Creating Custom Panels" in the help system for the details.
  15. Use the panels from ...\Libraries\Objects-Imperial\16_Electrical_Panels.mcd The name of the panel is specified in the Panel Record atatched to the symbol. In the data pane, select the panel Record then select the name field and change the name in the lower pane of the OIP. It defaults to LPB-0.
  16. Contact tech support directly and they can give you detailed information. In general, any of the machines in the computer room can act as the key server, and you allow other computers outside the room to run VW. The computers must be on the same subnet and there are some additional configurations that need to me made.
  17. The light info record attatched to the symbol contains the beam and field angle along with the candlepower for the instrument. Somply attach the light info record to the symbol def and fill out the information. The lighting device will read this information.
  18. Rad gives you a much truer vision of what the scene will look like. Everyone is just used to seeing the Renderworks renderings. I would post the question on the Renderworks board. If you have the ability post a picture of your Rad rendering and one of your Renderworks rendering. Lately DaveD has been asking people for their file and seeing how much he can speed up the rendering by changing the rendering settings.
  19. Num Channels was also added to V12. If you create a symbol and fill out the record info atatched to the symbol the field will populate automatically. Most of the instruments contain this information but several older instruments need to be updated. For instruments like the VL5 I sometimes attatch a "Dimmer" as an accessory to the instrument.
  20. You need to only select the lighting devices, if you select the position or anything else the OIP will gray. If you just select the lighting devices you will be able to change the z height using the OIP.
  21. In v12 there is a field for Universe. In prior version most people used the dimmer field and entered 1/99(Universe/Dimmer), a standard notation that is also used in Lightwright.
  22. Set the fill (and pen?) to none.
  23. The gobo projector is now integrated into the lighting device.
  24. It's a know and published problem with the Intel Mac. For info on known problems on the Intel Mac, take a look at: http://kbase.nemetschek.net/index.php?ToDo=view&questId=91&catId=23
