2 lights should appear as one light in Legend-list. How?

[JayJay]

Hey Guys

i work in Spotlights with 2 fixturetype - A HUNG and a STAND Symbol.

That means for every Symbol / light in my library i have 2 to choose from.

Therefor when i printout the legend list i do get the count for hung and stand lights regarding to my file.

Is there a way to produce a hung symbol and a stand symbol so that the legend is showing only the "main" fixture?

e.g used in file:

Intellaspot hung - 3

Intellaspot stand - 3

legend is showing:

Intellaspot - 6

I hope u know what i mean

thank u

I don't know for sure, but If your symbol is a referencing another symbol maybe this would work. So your Hung & Stand symbol would have the Intellaspot symbol embedded in it.

[JayJay]

ehh..ok.

never heard about that.

ok, i am just using Spotlight for few months.

any idea or guide how this would work?

by the way...how do you guys handle this?

I don't have a symbol for Hung & Stand. I use 1 symbol and change the 3D Orientation. Select the symbol and near the bottom of your OIP should be a check mark for set 3d orientation. If you click that you should get options that allow you to rotate it in 3d.

If you were going to try what I suggested above, use 1 symbol, and put it in your document. Change the 3D orientation, then save that as a new symbol. This was you original Symbol is being referenced within the new symbol. When I get a chance I can try this out to see if it works.

hey Chad

yeah...i know the 3D orientation issue.

This was also thought doing it like that.

I just played with it.

But my default hung fixtures do have clamps on the base.

when i just rotate the fixture, then the clamps are still there and not needed when standing on the floor.

the other way is not to use clamps

[JayJay]

hey

i tried that just using the 3d orientation.

hmm I still don't know what to do with the clamps.

Your hung fixtures do not have clamps?

No, none of my movers that hang have clamps. I just put it closer to the truss. For most of my renders that little detail doesn't matter because the movers are not detailed at all.
