nakedeye Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 More of a Lightwright question rather than strictly Vectorworks. I have a series of vertical pipes with S4 pars on so have made a schematic viewport for each one. In Lightwright I'm seeing every lamp twice - both with the same info. I'm assuming its seeing the lamp in the drawing and the viewport version which in theory is the same one. Any thoughts out there? Mx Quote Link to comment

Lightwright Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 (edited) I don't know enough about schematic views, but if there is more than one lighting device that represents the same light, then there will be more than one row in Lightwright. I thought schematic views were for display purposes on the plot only. I've never tried using them, so I'm sorry to say I'm not much help. If the schematic view is just a viewport, it shouldn't be sending duplicate info to Lightwright. It sounds like in creating the viewport somehow additional lighting devices were created. One thing you can try doing is select the worksheet rows in Lightwright one at a time and use the Edit/Select/Select in Vectorworks command, then click on Vectorworks and see what's selected. That might help you figure out where the duplicates are coming from. Can someone with experience in schematic views help here? Edited January 11, 2021 by Lightwright 1 Quote Link to comment
nakedeye Posted January 12, 2021 Author Share Posted January 12, 2021 Well I deleted the old xml file and re-exported and that seems to have cleared it up. Its an ongoing design so could have just had some old data in there. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee klinzey Posted January 12, 2021 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted January 12, 2021 OK. I tested with just a single light and could not reproduce the issue. The way the schematic view object is designed it should not be possible to send the lights you represented there to Lightwright. Quote Link to comment
nakedeye Posted January 13, 2021 Author Share Posted January 13, 2021 Hi Klinzey, seems to have corrected its self by doing a new xml file and export. I've not come across this before and I've been using Lightwright and schematic views lots. Thanks anyway. mx Quote Link to comment
