Hunter B Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Anybody know what I'm missing here.... I cannot seem to get the video screen skirt to appear. Am I missing something? Is there a box to click or something that I missed? Quote Link to comment
Hunter B Posted November 18, 2009 Author Share Posted November 18, 2009 If anybody else needs to know.... grab the screen and raise it to the height you need. The legs and skirt grow as you raise the screen. Quote Link to comment
Hunter B Posted November 19, 2009 Author Share Posted November 19, 2009 Wish there was an "image from floor" box Quote Link to comment
David Ormsby Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Not sure about the included version, but in the stand alone Videoscreen plugin, entering a dimension into the "Z" box in the OIP sets the distance to the bottom of the screen frame (i.e. if you have the screen frame set to 6", entering 4' in the Z box with give an image to floor dimension (skirt height) of 4'6".

Hunter B Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 I know!! I loved the stand alone version. Now when you enter a number in the z bow it raises the whole dang thing and floats it off the floor with a 2 inch skirt. Quote Link to comment
C. Andrew Dunning Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Gents - In terms of setting screen height, both the Landru Design version (what you're calling "stand-alone") and the Spotlight version work exactly the same way: Video Screen (or VS4-Projection) consider the Active Layer Plane as the "floor." As David explained, the "Z" value in the OIP sets the measurement from that floor to the bottom of the screen, including the screen's border. Stands, such as a screen's "Goalpost" stand or a projector's scaffolding, also see the Active Layer Plane as the floor. The only exception to this is if you enter a different value into the "Floor Height" parameter. Save for the new concept of Layer Planes in 2010, this is the way the VideoScreen tools have always worked. I hope this helps clear up any frustration or confusion... Quote Link to comment
