Sweet! how easy is that, thanks Mike
-
Another exciting round for all of us watching from home!
Thanks guys!
-
OH yes, this thread is so very very helpful on so many levels.
Thanks to all who have contributed!

>but, given the choice, I'd rather have stability than new features.
^this.

See attached pdf. If useful, pm me

I just use bullets with tabs or spaces from the keyboard.

I _almost_ never want the perspective view to model in.
I do want the ability to tell VW what view I want to work in and to have that stick until I tell it otherwise.

Holy helpfulness Batman!!
Loving that reply Jim W.
I feel with your presence, Nemetschek VW is taking users issues far more seriously than in the past.
Glad you're here.

Kevin, thanks again for the clear information.
If it happens again or if I can force it to happen I'll file a bug.

Hello Kevin - super thanks for the quick reply. Yes, they returned to view. But - why does this happen? And you of course understand how confusing it becomes to look up and see placed fixtures disappearing.

Apparently I was wrong. Sadly.
-
I quickly tested a guess: the Spotlight Preferences|Modify lighting device color
toggle seems to possibly be the cause of the issue. Fixtures all showed back up when that field was toggled OFF.
Poop.

So today out of the blue, with apparent randomness VW 2013 his disappearing various drawing symbols/plugin objects. This is easier to show than to describe -screenshot attached - as I work along, various plugins or symbols begin to disappear, while still remaining in the drawing in place -as you can see from the selection handles showing in the scrn cap.
I have tried the incredibly unproductive close-everything-and-restart, to no avail.
Thoughts?
Advice?
Prayers?

I have to say that I disagree on the point about photorealism, in that my objective with the Renderworks and Spotlight packages is to create client-facing images which detail photo-realistically what I expect to create artistically onstage. So in that regard, being able to manipulate the lighting tools and texture tools with a reasonable sense of veracity is of the highest order for me (how clunky the Spotlight interface is for manipulating fixture intensities and focii is for another discussion).

This entire discussion has brightened my day.
Thanks to all who contributed.

Yes, I do exactly the same, but use a spotlight fixture and deploy the shutters as needed...
Attached you'll find the previz (done back in 2008), the image pro gobo template derived from the previz process and a snap from the show

What a great thread! Fantastic opinion and data - thank you all for our contributions!
-
Fantastic thread, thanks!!

^This.
Exactly what I do.
Works pretty well.
-
Thrilled to see all my spotlight channel containers orienting themselves properly -whoo-hoo! No crashes since successful install (fingers x'ed)
-
Sure looks like a new physics to me
-
Similarly, I create and apply a "focus point" class to the Focus Points and turn them on/off at will. Generally once I focussed, they stay turned off unless a correction is needed.
-
But back in biz now. It seems faster/more responsive, is that possible?
-
Only that a file was corrupt or missing in the install (perhaps because the jobsite I downloaded the installer from had an extremely poor connection which failed repeatedly?). And as a consequence I had to uninstall the entire app and reinstall it and all the little personalizations we all love about the app.
simple help file question
