0 Ethan R. Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 In a way I think maybe @C. Andrew Dunning could alter the stanchion tool to convert to a festoon lighting tool ??? Quote Link to comment
0 C. Andrew Dunning Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Gotcha 1 better... Seth Robinson, one of the unsung heroes in our biz created a festoon PIO a few years ago for one of his projects and has OKed its being shared. Simply copy the folder in this Zip file (folder structure intact) into your Plug-ins folder and add "String Lights" to your Workspace. To use, treat it as a path-based object (like SoftGoods 2 or Stanchion Layout...) Just know going in that Seth offers this freebie tool as-is so don't bug him for tech support, suggestions, or feature requests... StringLights.zip 2 Quote Link to comment

0 C. Andrew Dunning Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Ethan - You must be trying to use this tool in VW2018. It was created a while ago for an earlier version and likely contains elements that need to be updated. Quote Link to comment
0 Ethan R. Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 That is very true -- maybe we can submit for inclusion in Spotlight Quote Link to comment
