  1. If you zoom in, is the geometry actually outlined in green or are you seeing clusters of Loci? If the latter, hide the "NonPlot-Loci" Class.
  2. This will be rectified in a forth-coming update...
  3. What version/build are you running? This was fixed in a recent update.
  4. @SamIWas, for the 2D portions of tracks for Soft Goods/SoftGoods 2 I use a combination of OffSetPoly ("left" side), OffSetPolyN ("right" side"), and then GetPolyLineVertex to find the endpoints of each. I then place lines to "cap" the end points. The 3D portion then uses those 2 polylines to create new ones within BeginPoly/EndPoly and BeginXtrd/EndExtrd calls. SetPolyClosed is used to make the resulting polyline closed. I'm sorry, but it has been so long (12 years?) since I coded those parts of that tool that I don't remember why I had to use a combination of OffSetPoly and OffSetPolyN.
  5. At this time, the stock tool and the Landru Design version do not do this. You might consider Projection Viz: https://benghiatlighting.com/software/product/projectionviz-2/#description.
  6. Are you wanting something other than the Mic Stand option?
  7. At-present, the stock Spotlight tool and Landru Design tool are virtually identical. The VideoTile Command, though, that automates image mapping across multiple PIO instances, is exclusive to license holders of the Landru Design tools.
  8. Our tools are all platform-agnostic. Meaning, Windows/Mac does not matter. They also work in all VW versions 2022 and newer. No. I did post 2 demo files, though.
  9. All are flat. Attached are 2 demo files. LED Arc Demo.vwxTileDemo.vwx
  10. 3 comments: Your general panel-placement approach looks good. If you upgrade to 2025 or buy a license to the Landru Design version of the video tools (https://www.landrudesign.com/VWPlugIns.htm) you'll see a "miter" option that will allow the panels to "connect" closer on convex curves. Holders of licenses of the Landru Design version of the tools also have access to a Command called "VideoTile" that automates image mapping across multiple panels. The Command is pretty rudimentary and does have limits but can be a HUGE time-saver.
  11. For users of the Landru Design version of this tool...earlier this week we posted a build that fixes this...
  12. What is your O.S.? What VW build are you running? Is your installation 100% stock?
  13. Here is a file containing a copy of your Symbol that works with the Video Tools. There were several problems with your Symbol: not hybrid, oriented incorrectly, Record not attached, and data fields blank. See the manual fond here: https://www.landrudesign.com/VWPlugIns.htm for more information on creating Symbols to work with the tools. The VS4 tools are "stand-alone" versions of the tools included with Spotlight. Depending on the version of VW being run, the feature sets might be nearly identical or the Landru Design versions might contain multiple additional features. PanasonicPJ.vwx
  14. The 2 TV Symbols in the file you posted work just fine. The error messages you are getting indicate The Television tool finding Symbols that have bad data. This is usually caused by either custom Symbols with incorrect data in the various Record fields or VW seeing Resource files that are the incorrect version (like 2025 seeing 2024 files). So...you'll want to double-check that the files in "...Libraries\Defaults\Video Screen\Casings Flat 16-9" are, indeed, 2025 files and that any custom Symbols in files in that folder have correct dimensions and such.
