Zach Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Hello All, I have imported the L'Acoustics Bumper and Speaker libraries (from Service Select -> Ent Audio) into my Defaults -> Audio Tools -> Bumpers and Speakers. Am now trying to use the speaker array tool set.. Upon placing the array and going to configure it, all the L'Acoustics bumpers do not seem to be scaled. For example, the M-BUMP + M-BAR is 750' x 700' x 80'. KIBU-SB is 554' x 550' x 98'. The speakers all have imported and scaled correctly... I'm not sure if this is a scaling issue or just an object issue. Anyone have any experience with this?? Thanks, Zach Quote Link to comment
C. Andrew Dunning Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Likely, the dimension data in the "__ATS-BumpModData" record attached to the Symbol you're trying to import is either in the incorrect format (must be a text field) and/or does not include units markers (like "mm"). Correcting one or both of those should get you going. Quote Link to comment

Zach Posted January 3, 2020 Author Share Posted January 3, 2020 Hey guys, Thank you both for the replies.. I see now it is definitely a unit issue. What is interesting is that in the Vectorworks default libraries -> Ent Audio, ALL actual bumper symbols themselves are in inches, whereas ALL speaker symbols are mm. Is this a config issue on my side? So the bumpers have the right numbers, just wrong unit.. Thanks, Zach Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee JustinVH Posted January 3, 2020 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted January 3, 2020 @Zach Are you using VW2019 or VW2020? Those items should have been fixed for 2020? Quote Link to comment
Zach Posted January 3, 2020 Author Share Posted January 3, 2020 (edited) @JustinVH VW2020 (latest updates) on MacOS Mojave with latest updates. Pulling direct from default libraries. Edited January 3, 2020 by Zach Quote Link to comment
Mark Aceto Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Nope, not fixed in 2017, 2018, 2019 or 2020, so I’m not betting on 2021 either. Quote Link to comment
