livespace josha Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Hello! Can you hide label legends based on the fixture type? Here is my work flow...I have a label legend set up with Address, Universe, Fixture number, and focus point information. When doing lighting plots, I use 2 separate SL VP to show information. One displays the fixture layout with the classes showing label legend address, universe and fixture number active. I also do a "Focus" SL VP that shows only the focus point class active. Here is my problem: When implementing moving lights, the focus point data is unnecessary. On the "Focus" viewport, I hide the class the moving lights are on to clean up the drawing. However, the label legend is still visible for these fixtures because all of the "Focus Point" label legend data on the Lighting-Label-Focus class. Is there an easy fix to this, without having to get creative and complicated creating additional classes and layers? Thanks! Josh Quote Link to comment
markdd Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 What about putting all your moving lights on a separate layer? The other much better thing you could try to use is Data Visualisation on Sheet Layer Viewports. It is a powerful tool and you can choose to hide various instruments based on their criteria with some very pleasing results. Label Legends will hide with the instruments as well. 1 Quote Link to comment
livespace josha Posted July 6, 2018 Author Share Posted July 6, 2018 Data Visualization worked perfect! That's the exact result I was looking for. I removed the pen and fill attributes for a blank value. I need to experiment with DV more...This has the potential to solve a few issues I've been having displaying data. Thanks!

Sam Jones Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 How were you able to hide anything? I thought all you could do was change fill and line attributes based on record values? Quote Link to comment
Sam Jones Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Ah, I thought removing the attributes would leave a white space. This is very cool. Kind of a way for an object to have multiple class graphic attributes based on record values' Quote Link to comment

It means that by simply attaching the smallest record to something you can make an object take on all sorts of different attributes. This has really helped me with complex lighting layouts.
