Lighting symbols in the instrument summary with different wattages

[jloganthomas]

Hello!

 

Does the instrument summary have the ability to group same-lensed 575w and 750w source4 lights into the same inventory quantity? I ideally want to have the instrument summary on the plot sheet layer show the totals for the different lenses used, 575w and 750w caps used, and bodies used. I also want to be able to add the stock quantity of the lenses, caps, and bodies so that the key can show the used individual parts vs the stock. 

 

Having a different stock total for Source4 36° 575w lights vs Source4 36° 750w lights doesn't make sense for our space that has a limited number of 750w caps and lenses, that need to be split up per show.

 

Thank you!

@Scott C. ParkerThis can be done correct? Is that what the device body and device lens parts fields are for in the LIR?

Sort of. It depends on how you are managing your symbols and the wattage info. If you're simply changing the wattage of the symbol and don't care about showing it on the plot, other than a legend or tag, the symbol remains the same. If you use the actual symbol in the resource library with the 750W cap, then it's a separate symbol. You get a bit creative depending on how you want to show the info and how you want to report it. 
Here, I have 11 bodies of a 26° light. In the symbols area, I have 10 at 575 and one w 750. In the Plug-in area, you see I also have 11 bodies, but I've entered different wattages in the wattage/power field of the light.
On the right, I have 60 bodies at 575 and just three with different wattages. Notice that "750" is treated differently than "750 W"
