BHunter Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Now it's widely known that in 12.5 you are unable to set a focus point above a fixture. I just DLed the showgun MCD file and in playing with it, I set one on a stage, set a focus point 15' above the fixture, and turned it on. I got a nicely rendered beam of light right where I told it to go. Now, did the last update solve this issue? Or did the HES symbol do it? I'm baffled- glad, but baffled. Bob Quote Link to comment
BHunter Posted January 26, 2008 Author Share Posted January 26, 2008 Apparently, the last update addressed the aforementioned issue. I've been experimenting with some existing drawings and am indeed able to set aerial focus points. Hooray.... Bob Quote Link to comment

Only the "Draw Beam" function was limited to having the focus point at an angle below the instrument. In VW 2008 the limitation was removed and the "Draw Beam" function will work with the focus point in any position. Quote Link to comment
