TLeatherman Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 I assume this is a setting I'm missing somewhere. Does anyone know why there would be Loci populating on the cable tool like this? I've dug around in settings, and it replicates on a brand new document. The cable tools were working great in 2020 for me a couple weeks ago, not sure what I did to get here. Thanks so much, Travis 2020 SP1 (Build 512839) macOS Mojave 10.14.6 Quote Link to comment

LVLDME Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 I am also having this problem. Where do I turn off Braceworks-Point load? I don't have braceworks. I have Designer. It is weird too, the loci arent there when I just draw a data cable but if I use the make data chain tool the loci are there. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee jcogdell Posted December 15, 2019 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted December 15, 2019 You can set the classing for this in the Spotlight preferences in the Loads and rigging pane go to File>Document Settings>Spotlight Preferences>Loads and Rigging Quote Link to comment
LVLDME Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 turning off the Rigging-Guidelines doesn't make them go away. lighting-footprint does not exist in my document. Checking or unchecking the boxes does not work either. My apologies if I am missing something blatantly obvious. Can you explain what I do in Loads and Rigging to make these annoying loci go away?

Vectorworks, Inc Employee jcogdell Posted December 17, 2019 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted December 17, 2019 no problem, the loci are auto created to document how the objects weight interacts with rigging objects, for Braceworks load calculations. by default the loci are in the same class as the object. If you want to be able to change their visibility separately from the associated object you need to use the the bottom pane of the loads and rigging preferences dialogue, check the 'automatically assign the class of all point and distributed loads' box, then use either of the classing options below it to assign the classes, I usually just use the 'use existing document class' option once this is done you can control the visibility of the loci separately from the associated object, by toggling the appropriate class visibility Regarding the data cables created by the 'create data cable chain' command, there does seem to be a graphical bug, as it is drawing far more loci than needed. I will open a bug report to get this addressed as quickly as possible Quote Link to comment
