symo Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Im having an issue with light symbols distorting after hidden-line renders, as seen here: LX Fixture Issue.pdf It only affects the 3D part of the symbol. The issue was first noticed in V2020 and may have been present before this. The work-around is to use the Refresh Lighting Devices command. Has anyone else come across this? Quote Link to comment

symo Posted February 21, 2021 Author Share Posted February 21, 2021 Hi Tom Here it is: Light_Render_Issue.vwx I populated the pipe with some fittings, created a couple of sheet layer view ports, re-opened the file - and the issue presented. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee TomWhiteLight Posted February 22, 2021 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted February 22, 2021 Hi Symo Yes I saw the same issue, I think there was an issue with the particular lighting device you had inserted (I don't know why this happened just one of those unexplained things, I am keeping my eye on it). Basically if it happens again go into the resource manager and import a fresh version of that lighting instrument and overwrite the one you have. This will overwrite the one in the current document. I have also put in a black and white open GL rendering to see what you think as it is much faster to update than hidden line. It is attached! All the best Tom W Light_Render_Issue.vwx 1 Quote Link to comment
