What records to attach to imported speaker symbol?


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I've imported a 3D symbol for a speaker I want use that isn't in the standard library.  I've attached the _ATS-SpkrModData record, but this only gives me some of the parameters.  While I can input dispersion angles, I can't turn on Draw Dispersion.  I know I'm missing something, but I can't figure out what it is.

 

Thanks

Steve

I copied my object from the project I'm working on.

Opened the Speakers JBL.vrx file which is blank. (And doesn't show up in my speaker choices with the Insert Speaker Tool.)

Pasted the Object.

Saved this file, closed it, moved back to my main project.

Started the Insert Speaker Tool, and JBL is not in the list.

Restarted Vectorworks.

Same result.

 

I also added a file with just the speaker in it to the "Audio Tools\Speakers" folder.... also same results

Am I misunderstanding how you mean "add it to the file"? 

(FYI, I did this initially with the Default Speaker file, same result.)

 

The only way I've been able to add a custom speaker is to create it in the speaker array panel, and Save To Library, but visually it has a generic form.  I'm wanting to get very visually precise if possible.

 

Can you give me step by step what you did with my file when you added it and got the result I'm looking for?
