V.DiTunno.Prolights Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Hello All, I have recently started using Vectoworks, forgive me for my low knowledge of the software. My pupose is to create a moving head. I performed this procedure: I created the three 3d parts (base, arms, and body which also includes a group of lenses). I have assigned the Parts record to the various parts. In the plan I have inserted a drawing on 2d, which obviously reflects the geometry of the symbol. I selected everything and Edit> Create Symbol. I gave the name and done ok and entered the central insertion point. I assigned the Light Info Record and Light Info Record M to this symbol and entered the values. After saving everything, I tried to insert it in a truss but I encountered these problems: Pan and Tilt don't work: I can only rotate the whole symbol, but not the head, arm and base. It is not inserted in the center but misaligned. Can I get some advice on where am I wrong? Quote Link to comment

Vectorworks, Inc Employee Tamsin Slatter Posted March 31, 2021 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted March 31, 2021 Do you also need a 3D Locus which determines the rotation point for the pan and tilt? 1 Quote Link to comment
