Lighting Fixtures within Symbols are not Unique


MTRobin

Question

Hi Everyone,

 

I have found a big issue with lighting devices within symbols. Often times I will have multiple overhead trusses or a truss mirrored SR and SL. In these cases I make the truss and all the lights on the truss a symbol so if I edit one it will update all the instances.

 

What I have found is that when I then edit the unit number or any OIP lighting device parameters, such as channel or address, it makes all the symbol instances the same. I feel that this is not what should happen here. The fixtures should be unique so you can have lights within a symbol and they will have their own unique values within their records.

 

I have attached a video to demonstrate this. The first part is how it should work, and the second part is what happens after I make all the fixtures a symbol.

 

Thank you

 

Maxwell
