kss Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 I have a dozen heliodons in this model. It seems that I should be able to turn them off and on from the Visualization Palette, however, they do not appear there when I open it. When I try to create a new light source, Heliodon is not listed as a type. Any guidance would be much appreciated. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Make sure that in the Vis Palette that All is checked. (Not Current Scene) Heliodon will be it's own tool - not part of the Light Tool Palette. hth mk Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Tamsin Slatter Posted August 26, 2012 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted August 26, 2012 The Heliodon object contains a Directional Light. It is this you will see in the Visualization palette - just a light source with type Directional. It's name will be the location, date and time though so you can recognize which ones you need to turn off. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment
kss Posted August 26, 2012 Author Share Posted August 26, 2012 It turns out that, when the heliodon object is set to appear as a 2D symbol only, it does not appear in the Visualization box. So, I just had to go through and turn them all back to the 2D and Light setting. Thanks all! Quote Link to comment
