Robert Janiak Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 He, Is it possible to create my own fixtures in Vision or VW? Sometimes I get project for vizualisation including some 'on name' devices like led par or strip led. I spend a lot of time looking for the simillar device. It would be nice to create custom simple led emmisive fixtures. Best Robert Quote Link to comment

Robert Janiak Posted December 7, 2016 Author Share Posted December 7, 2016 Thank you, but i need export custom fixture to Vision. Now I need 1m strip led with 8 x RGB cells. I think it is not possible now. I sent Fixture request to Vision. I am waiting for answer. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Edward Joseph Posted December 7, 2016 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted December 7, 2016 Unfortunately there is much more that goes into making a fixture than building the geometry in Vectorworks. In the backend we also have to program the photometrics, bones (if it's a mover) and we build separate geometry specifically for Vision. This results in an extremely time-consuming process, which is why we have people who only build the fixtures all day. What I can do though is pester the person who builds them for vision, and get him to send you a reply. Quote Link to comment

Guest Mark Eli Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Hi All, Generally speaking a good place to start for general fixtures is Chauvet and ETC. We have a large number of those and they do a lot of generic fixtures in different flavors from standard incandescent to RGBAWUVs. We also have our Generic section of no name lights that cover a lot of different things like Emissive spheres of different sizes, generic Fresnels, and quite a few others. Right now we don't have a symbol library for them but if you place any fixture in Vectorworks you can then select "Other" in the mode drop down menu, then under Manufacturer you'll see a folder named Generic.
