Haydenovative Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Howdy Team, I am looking at the video screen tool and have realised that the weight field is populated globally by the plug-in parameters, meaning that all projectors will display at the weight set in the plug-in manager fields ProjWeightLB and ProjWeightKG within the video screen tool. Is there a way to set the weight to vary based on the projector model selected? Secondly, when using multiple projectors (Stacked or side-by-side) the weight of the projector shown in the "include in calculations" field is not doubled, should that not be updating? Thank you so much for your time! Quote Link to comment
C. Andrew Dunning Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Hayden - Assuming that the Projector Symbols you're using have appropriate weight data, you should see the weight in the OIP change as you select different projectors (I just confirmed). The lack of doubling is a known issue that is being addressed, Quote Link to comment
Haydenovative Posted March 21, 2019 Author Share Posted March 21, 2019 Good Morning Mr. Dunning, I don't appear to have a weight field in my VS-ModData. Am I missing something? Quote Link to comment
C. Andrew Dunning Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 (edited) You must be using Projector Symbols with an old version of the record attached. The new version includes weight data. Do you know what the source is of the Symbol(s) you're trying to use? Edited March 22, 2019 by C. Andrew Dunning Quote Link to comment
Haydenovative Posted March 22, 2019 Author Share Posted March 22, 2019 Ah, the source of the symbols is me. I took the data records from the existing projectors in projector models. I will have a look at a fresh install and re-import them. Thanks so much! 1 Quote Link to comment
Guest Yordan Kostadinov Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Hi Hayden, When using Stacked or Side-by-side projectors in Vectorworks 2019 SP3, the weight will automatically double and divide when you change the settings. Both projectors are considered a single load in Braceworks and are controlled by single Load Information block. Yordan Quote Link to comment
