Creating Speaker Symbol for use in Speaker Array Tool

Our tools and the stock tools are 95% identical. The functionality youxre wanting applies to the stock tools. The manual is free-of-charge... -
Creating Speaker Symbol for use in Speaker Array Tool

Definitely doable! See the manual found on https://www.landrudesign.com/AudioToolSet.htm. -
Dispersion on -90deg tilt not showing up
C. Andrew Dunning replied to bjoerka's topic in Entertainment
2 things: 1) Edit the speaker's Symbol definition and change "Throw 1" from "100 ft" to "100'." 2) For each Speaker instance using that Symbol, either switch Symbols and then return to the E5 or enter "100'" in the Range 1 "Throw Distance." The Hatch is not being applied because the Throw Distance you are using is shorter than the given dispersion lines. 100' is way more than you need but the tool will "trim" that automatically at your Listening Height. I hope that helps. -

Would you mind posting or DMing me a copy of your file? -
Others might offer differing opinions, but my $.02US: Unless there is a good reason, such as needing a dynamic list of options, stick with a pre-populated list to save on the overhead. And...if you DO choose to clear and re-populate, do that in the WidgetPrep Event (41).

Yes. Think of fullness as "in addition to." I'm glad the link is helpful. I have found Rose Brand resources to be quite valuable over the years - in addition to the company simily being a great vendor.

@Peter Telleman, this explanation on Rose Brand's Web site might help you understand what the "Fullness" parameter for our tool does: https://www.rosebrand.com/custom-curtain-services/curtain-fullness?srsltid=AfmBOorfdgYYMIuz4xfIexewc-pkFf7EyFFw41Z3dKFlqj7NhJ13HsQ2.

Yes!

This is not correct. The panel counter system does compensate for >0 "Vertical Tied Fullness" values.

@Peter Telleman, things are actually working correctly. See the attached file. This really isn't a question of Styles. For yoiur 3000mm instance, only one panel is needed because your run is 3000mm, which is the same as your stock panel width. "Minimum Overlap" only applies if more than 1 panel was needed. So, the 1200mm "Minimum Overlap" does not enter into the calculations. For your 4800mm instance, two 3000mm panels are needed. They overlap each-other by 1200mm. So...for each...1800mm not overlapping x2 for a total of 3600mm. That 3600mm + 1200mm "overlapping" is the 4800mm total. In the demo file are both "stock" and "Landru" instances with "Show Drape Breaks" and "Show Overlap" toggled on so you can see how the tool is "thinking." I also included an "Overlap Demo" showing that the internal logic is effectively doing. I hope that helps. curtain question - Landru.vwx

What you posted is actually working as-designed. I was concerned when you mentioned a "square" being displayed as that WOULD have been a bug. The extrustion, though, is correct. The instances the tool creates are intended to be "representations" of curtain, truss border, and pipe-and-drape runs - not fully detailed models. Yes, higher levels of detail would LOOK nice but modeling that via a tool would quickly become impractical.

What version of Vectorworks are you running? Would you post a file containing the SG instance exhibiting the issue? Or, would you DM me a copy?

SoftGoods not forcing a 3rd upright when slider length is exceeded.
C. Andrew Dunning replied to mwuebker's question in Troubleshooting
@mwuebker, what build of SoftGoods 2 are you running? The most current release (2.5503) works correctly - with one caveat: If the "Adjustable Length" is 14', the "effective" drape length with end uprights is actually 13'-10.5" as 14" is from upright center to upright center. So, no center upright will get created/shown and the OIP will report "Contains Non-Standard Slider(s)." If you make the Adjustable Length 14'-3" (half of each of 2 uprights + 1.5" for a center), you'll get the spacing you're expecting. -
For rectangular decks the minimum deck width and depth are 12" and 8" (305mm and 203mm).
