VW2018 Lighting Device to Position Snapping (Bug Test)


James Russell

Question

Hi All,

 

I'm going a little crazy and need someone to do this bug test for me, two parts;

 

Part One

 

  1. Make a truss.
  2. Convert to lighting position.
  3. Using Instrument Insertion place a few lamps onto the truss.
  4. Raise Truss lighting position to 6000mm in Z.
  5. Ensure lights stay on truss from front view.

 

Part Two

 

  1. Make a Truss.
  2. Convert to lighting position.
  3. Raise Truss lighting position to 6000mm in Z.
  4. Using Instrument Insertion place a few lamps onto the truss.
  5. Ensure lights are hung on truss (mine aren't!)

 

*Optional extra - try to hang more lights on lighting positions, default insertion is 0mm.

 

Just let me know if your experience is the same. Especially @JimWdo you get this?

 

Hope you're all well.

Both ended up the same for me.  (wrong,  because of moving lights inside the truss)  but attached.    Unless you tried the fun party trick of selecting all of that position and moving it to a new design layer.   Then you get this fanciness:

Or if you delete the right two fixtures from the original and mirror the left two across the center line,  then you get this:

There are lots of issues with the 2018 (SP1 at the moment) hanging position.  So I don't doubt you are getting strange results.
