SGNLE Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Any instrument that I insert onto a plot into any free space can be assigned a height simply by adjusting the Z-axis measurement, however, the moment it is dragged or inserted onto ANY hang position, I am entirely unable to assign it a height. I go to change the Z-axis measurement, enter it, and it resets it immediately back to 0". I'm sure its some stupid setting somewhere that isn't checked but no one whose looked so far can find anything, so any help would be appreciated. If it makes any difference, I'm currently using the DVD version of the Vectorworks 2008 full package, student edition. Thanks all. Quote Link to comment
william7 Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 catch22, are your hanging positions 2d or 3d objects? they need to be 3d objects. the position needs to have a z height that the light attaches to. try using the prebuilt lighting positions in the spotlight object library and see if this works. michael williams Quote Link to comment
Cris with no H Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 It's still a problem, though. I appreciate that an instrument takes on the Position's Z height at initial insertion, but I SHOULD have full manual control over the Z height...and I don't. Quote Link to comment
LMalkin Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 guys I have the fix for this. I had a talk with on the of the techs and he explaned that throughing the draft into a a side veiw and using the 3d selection tool to grab the light and raise it manually works. for me its works about 90% of the time. I think it is a glitch in the program. Quote Link to comment
