Attaching lighting fixtures to symbols/plugin objects

[Adamsauder]

Hey everyone,

 

just trying to figure out if there is a way of attaching a editable lighting fixture to a symbol/plugin object? The show im on has 3d geometry that repeats multiple times. inside this geometry, there are multiple LED strips (everyone with a unique dmx and fixture number)

 

is there anyway i can attach the lighting fixture to the symbol, so whenever i place the symbol in my drawing the lighting fixtures get placed with it?

Not exactly— each Lighting Device needs to be a unique instance on the drawing. 

 

You can start with a symbol for the 3D geometry, place Lighting Devices around it, then make that a symbol. In the symbol options, select “Convert to group,”  making it a “blue symbol.” That allows you to at least place the elements as a unit.
