Flipping Lights to the right orientation


Recommended Posts

Hi Guys, 

 

This is of somewhat immense frustration. 

 

I'm trying to do a 'quick' elevation of some truss towers on stage. 

 

The view you're looking at is the Front view. 

 

All I want to do rotate the light as you see it through 180 degrees so it sits on top of the truss tower. 

 

I'm getting this angry message from Vectorworks.....what am I doing wrong?

 

Thanks!

You need to rotate it about the x or y axis from the Object Information Palette. The 3D portion of the light will rotate loading the 2d unaffected.

 

on more recent versions 2019 onwards (I think) you can also do this with the rotate tool.
