santmart Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Hello all, I would like to drop a quick question about Fixture Modes in Spotlight. I am trying to visualise some effects created in an ETC Eos console through my Nomad and Vision but I am struggling to find the correct fixture modes in Vectorworks for the units I want to test. I was wondering if I could edit or create new custom fixture modes which would match the one in the rig I am using. For example, in this case I have a rig with 18 ETC D40 Lustr+ HSIC with strobe control. In VW I can only find the Direct, RGB and Color Mix modes. Any help would be amazing and really really appreciated. All the bests, Santiago Martinez Quote Link to comment

fuberator Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Hi I have a follow up question to this. I was going to request the same fixture (I have service select). And it made me wonder, does the fixture requests made by other people populate in my library automatically, or in the service packs, or how does that work? Thank you Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee klinzey Posted August 2, 2019 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted August 2, 2019 Other user's fixture modes and Vision fixture requests will de delivered via the Content Updater you can run from within Vision. They will also be delivered to other users with Service Packs of Vectorworks. Vectorworks symbol fixture requests will be delivered by updating the libraries available in service select which will automatically show up in the Vectorworks Resource Manager. Quote Link to comment
