DMX Patch window not showing all fixtures in use


Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

I am new to Vision. I have a colleague who uses Vectorworks regularly and he built the file for a show we're doing in a couple of weeks. I have pretty much everything addressed and working with my console (hog 4), but there is a patching conflict with one of the fixtures. When I go to the patch window in Vision to change it, that fixture isn't showing. In fact, of the 5 different types of fixtures  and 2 universes in use, only 1 universe and 1 fixture type is showing.  How do I get everything to show? As you can see in the pictures, I have way more than 8 fixtures.

Due to technical limitations, GDTF devices will not appear in the patch window. Only Vision's native content will appear in this window. GDTFs should be patched on the VW side, and then you can leverage the MVR "update existing objects" mechanism to pull this new patch in.
