Vectorworks, Inc Employee jcogdell Posted November 17, 2021 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted November 17, 2021 At the moment we don't have a dedicated object specifically for LED tape like this, There is another route though, Vision can convert any mesh object (a piece of geometry) into an emissive RGB object. One thing to remember when doing this is that you will need to set up a separate piece of geometry for it in in spotlight, before opening the design in Vision, otherwise the complete object will light up. Also you won't get the points of light for each emitter on the tape. 1 Quote Link to comment
mhersland Posted November 30, 2021 Author Share Posted November 30, 2021 Thanks a lot Jesse. That has been my work around until now. 🙂 I was hoping someone knew a genius trick. 🙃 Do you have any documentation on how to build a GDTF fixture from scratch? I am having a little difficulty finding the complete information. Best from Mathias 1 Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee jcogdell Posted December 1, 2021 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted December 1, 2021 I know we have some limited resources about GDTF on the Vectorworks university https://university.vectorworks.net/course/ Otherwise the GDTF group has a Youtube channel and has started to upload tutorial videos about the GDTF builder and how to use it. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkn8qU02YTkjPdeVEeQPjVQ/videos and lastly there is the GDTF group forums https://gdtf-share.com/forum/ 1 Quote Link to comment
