Doug Brown Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 so I just started trying out VW 14 - using the light pipe tool for first time - created the pipe - in OIP set z to 18' - then the Light insertion tool to place light - I get a snap que - but the units refuse to snap to the pipe - any ideas what I'm missing - seems like I did this fine in old versions when made own light pipe thanks doug Quote Link to comment
JBenghiat Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Doug, In order for the Lighting Device to detect the pipe, you still have to convert it to a Light Position Object - not unlike creating truss with the truss object. -Josh Quote Link to comment
Doug Brown Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 got it - yikes that makes no sense thanks - Quote Link to comment
RickR Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 If it didn't require being a Position object then you couldn't have any special functions for Positions. You can put a light on anything or nothing. But then you can't get a position summary or have it auto number, etc.. Quote Link to comment
