D Cook Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Vision 18, Conventional fixture will not import color from vectorworks to vision. I have settings correct mapping, color set to color field.... Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Edward Joseph Posted June 4, 2018 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted June 4, 2018 Hey D, make sure you right click the light and change the gel in Edit Light. Just typing in a color code into the Object info Palette won't apply a gel. Quote Link to comment
D Cook Posted June 4, 2018 Author Share Posted June 4, 2018 (edited) Ed I did, in edit light under color it shows the actual color... still wont export. Not sure what is wrong. Edited June 4, 2018 by D Cook Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Edward Joseph Posted June 4, 2018 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted June 4, 2018 Sorry - Right-click and go to Edit, then Color Wheel, there should only be one dropdown available. You set that to the gel. Clicking on it will open a color picker where you can sort through gels. Once selected, click ok to save then re-send to Vision (or export a new esc). Also, make sure your Vectorworks and Vision have both been updated to the latest Service Pack. Here's a link to Vision sp3: Quote Link to comment
D Cook Posted June 4, 2018 Author Share Posted June 4, 2018 (edited) So, every color on every light has to be entered twice to make Vision work.... seams very inefficient and time consuming. Is this going to be fixed anytime soon? Edited June 4, 2018 by D Cook Quote Link to comment
D Cook Posted June 4, 2018 Author Share Posted June 4, 2018 I have 20 inst in the same color, how do I batch edit so I don't have to individually edit 175 fixtures?? If you select more than one fixture it won't give me the edit function only edit light.. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Edward Joseph Posted June 6, 2018 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted June 6, 2018 Try this, select all the lights that you want the same color. Go to Spotlight>Visualization>Edit Vision data. Change either color wheel's slot 1 to whichever color you want. That will allow you to change a bunch at once. Quote Link to comment

Looks like this is something that could be be improved on and implemented relatively easily? Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee klinzey Posted June 11, 2018 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted June 11, 2018 Unfortunately it's not a simple fix but we are working on it. Because color and gobo can be controlled by DMX we can't always send over the information from Vectorworks about the color and gobo. Vectorworks is a static renderer so we only need to know about the active color and gobo but Vision needs to now about all the colors and gobos that are available. We are working on a solution but it's not an easy problem to solve will keeping the dynamic rendering rendering required by Vision and DMX controlled fixtures. 1 Quote Link to comment
