mjm Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 In the attached screen caps you'll see a 3D lighting fixture symbol (Shelled box w/ custom light—IES File) rendered. In one cap the fixture is oriented N/S, in the other, the fixture is oriented E/W. Alas, the Lighting beam does not rotate with the fixture, against all the physical laws of nature, apparently. The ies file is a stock ETC Vivid-R70H. I have attached the VWX file as well. Vivid-R.vwx Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee JuanCarlos Posted March 20, 2019 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted March 20, 2019 I encountered the same issue and reported it as bug, the current workaround that I found, it is that the light is aiming 90° down meaning perpendicular to the ground, if the light is tilted 0.01° then the light rotates with the symbol.

HTH @JuanCarlosWow, never thought of that as a possible solution. thanks man, a workaround is sure better than the obverse. 1 Quote Link to comment
