td4stage Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Ok...another question. I have four spotlights projecting gobos and I would like to give them the "lit fog" attribute. The thing is, is that when I select the light, the object info pallet brings up a "Spotlight" dialog (with channel, dimmer, color, etc. info.) instead of a RW light object dialog. Is it possible to have lit fog projections? Thanks! Pat Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee klinzey Posted May 26, 2006 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted May 26, 2006 Upgrade to 12.0.1 and you will have the lit fog option in the OIP of the lighting device. Trun the brihtness down and set the density of the fog down before you render. Quote Link to comment
td4stage Posted May 26, 2006 Author Share Posted May 26, 2006 Thanks Kevin...that worked like a charm! Ok, new question regarding the upgrade. When I select my projecting lighting object and look in the OIP, I see the lit fog and the intensity new settings, but I am now not seeing the "Focus" box. I had them (the projecting lights) "focused" to focus points in v12, but now there is no way, that I can see to associate a focus point with a unit! I am sure I am missing something! Thanks again!

Jim_Allen Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 The set focus function is in the edit instrument window. Jim Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee klinzey Posted May 30, 2006 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted May 30, 2006 I think I answered this on the theatre list too, but... Either double click on the instrument or click the edit button. You can select the focus point in the dialog. Sometimes the OIP needs to be refreshed when parameters are added. Making any change tho the object should cause the OIP to update and the parameters should appear. Quote Link to comment
