  1. Where is this 'Cable Parts Library' and or 'Cable Parts Manager'? Which I'm guessing is different than 'Manage Cable Parts' which has very limited functionality. Or is there a way to Uncheck all 'Use' items in 'Manage Cable Parts' to then just select the few cables in my inventory? Thank you, J
  2. Thank you, Pat. I was hoping there was a way to graphically represent this but the above is a great solution to figure out required inventory. Cheers!
  3. I have a stock of drapes with different widths (3m, 6m and 9m). I am creating a variety of 'rooms' using these drapes. Is there a way for VW to calculate the most efficient perimeter using this stock? For example, Room 1 needs a running length (with overlaps) of 46.6 meters. So I need 5 x 9m widths + 1 x 3m but current parameter settings indicate needing 6 x 9m widths, which is unnecessary . Cheers and Thank you, Jean-Yves Tessier VW2023
  4. Brilliant! For some reason, Searches were not bringing that up. I keep forgetting about VW University. Cheers and thank you!
  5. I'm struggling adapting my cable work flow to the VW '23 way of doing things. (Not sure why this feature had to change!) Is there a decent cable tutorial available detailing how to add and edit Socapex, DMX, CAT-6, that sort of thing in VW 2023? Thank you, Jean
  6. Can someone point me to a simple tutorial for creating a simple 3d theatre blackbox? Something that includes adding floor, curtains, lighting positions and fixtures. Then turning those fixtures on/off using focus points? VW University and Goggle searches indicate core concepts or fancy in depth tutorials but nothing that ties it all together. Thank you, J Tessier VW Spotlight 2021
  7. Yup. That's it. Looks like I have to dive into what 'braceworks' does. Thank you!
  8. Hello, Brand new to 2020 from 2014 with 2d loci. I can find the 3d loci visibility toggle but not the 2d. See attached jpg for unit numbering hidden under the loci. Thank you for any help.
  9. Thank you Jim. I have been using "Generate Paperwork" to generate the Channel Hookups and Instrument Schedules which does not Recalculate and needed a fresh generation every time. Looks like Create Report will be the way to go. Thanks again. JY Tessier
  10. Just made the jump from VW 2008 to 2014. Is there a way to edit Headers and Columns when Creating Reports? For example, I would like the Channel column in Channel Hookup up to always format centered in the column and in Bold type. Sure enough I can do this after the report is generated but is there a way to pre-format these reports at creation? JYTessier
  11. I was hoping to include an orchestra in a drawing I'm working on. Is there any decent yet inexpensive resource on the market? JY
  12. "Select Item"!! A great little tool I did not know of before. Excellent. That did the trick. The instruments were miles away from my drawing center. Thanks for the quick response. Jean
  13. My paper work (Inventory, Inst Schedule, etc) do not reflect alterations to my plot. It seems like the entire plot basically got doubled. For example, I renamed #1 Electric to #1 Batten but #1 Electric and all its associated instruments still appear on the paperwork despite not being anywhere on the plot. I have refreshed, deleted paperwork and re-generated. Even copy/pasted all instruments located on the plot to a fresh file to no avail. Each instrument has duplicated itself in the paperwork but not on the plot. I'm pretty sure the problem comes from re-naming the electrics but how can I get rid of them if I can't see them? How can I solve without redoing the entire thing over again? I am using VW2008. Regards, Jean
  14. I am using 2008. I previously used 12.5 Student version where this manipulating light on/off, etc appeared quite straight forward, hence I'm a little off. Thanks for the help. Jean
