J?rgen Jansson Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Hi All I have a problem with focus points for my side lights. Is there a work around for the F.P. so it will work in vertical plane? Enclosed picture is frontal. Link to My Web Gallery J?rgen Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 J?rgen Are you using VW 12.5 or 2008? Is the intended focus point of the fixture one of the FPs in the row about head height? Are you trying to get the drawn beam to end at the focus point? Michael Quote Link to comment
J?rgen Jansson Posted August 25, 2008 Author Share Posted August 25, 2008 I'm a VW 2008(Designer) user on a Mac OS X 10.5.4 The focus point is located to the right. Beam and field angle is 36 New set of pictures with two different F.P. market with red arrow J?rgen Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 J?rgen It looks like the light beam is behaving like it should. What were you hoping for? Michael Quote Link to comment
J?rgen Jansson Posted August 25, 2008 Author Share Posted August 25, 2008 (edited) I like to have the focus on a vertical plane instead of horizontal as now New image J?rgen Edited August 25, 2008 by J?rgen Jansson Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 You want to be able to read the Focus Point Object's name in a front view? Michael Quote Link to comment
J?rgen Jansson Posted August 26, 2008 Author Share Posted August 26, 2008 Michael I made some new pictures (manipulated with objects so they appear as what I'm aiming for with the focus point). I work mostly with dance performances and would like to create documentation for the Light Directors whom will work with the designs on tour etc. Draw beam works only if you have a instrument hanging and focused down on floor. If I want to make a special for backdrop or sidelight the "Draw beam" does not reflect "Real life" focus New set of Pictures J?rgen Quote Link to comment

MattG Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I think what you are wanting is just to edit your symbol? You just want the light to look like it would be hanging on a boom, torm or what have you where it is yoked straight out or possibly yoked in some funny manner. You probably are best off deleting your 2d portion of the symbol for a little bit to do it for now and redraw something later. Or I could be entirely misunderstanding you. Either way the images look like they are doing what they are supposed to. Quote Link to comment
J?rgen Jansson Posted October 16, 2008 Author Share Posted October 16, 2008 It's the draw beam I'm aiming for. It does not draw correct with side light. The Pictures is wish of how I would like it to work with draw beam and side light. J?rgen Quote Link to comment
