ALHP Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Does anyone else have an issue where, importing MVR with GDTF fixtures, that there is no patch information available in visions patch window? Using Vision 2023 SP1 Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee bbudzon Posted November 7, 2022 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted November 7, 2022 Unfortunately, GDTF fixtures must be patched in VW as this cannot yet be done in Vision. A big part of this reasoning was technical limitations in the Vision UI for handling DMX Breaks, which GDTF supports but Vision does not. I always suggest that all changes to the document be made in VW as opposed to Vision. But, sometimes this is unavoidable. If you must update the patch of a GDTF in an existing VSN file, I suggest updating the patch in VW and exporting only that fixture to an MVR. You can then merge this MVR into the VSN document to pull in the new patch information. Because MVR contains UUIDs, it will ensure that you don't end up with duplicated fixtures.
