Beams on shaded view.


Recommended Posts

  • 1 year later...

what is the maximum number of beams that can be displayed in shaded view?  I am working on a file with multi-cell lighting fixtures(25 cells, 32 fixtures total) .  I have edited these fixtures to display all 25 beams for all 25 cells. When I turn on all 32 of these fixtures, only 21 of them are displaying beams in shaded view.  Is the maximum 525 beams?

 

Any ideas?

Other than the document settings the only restriction should be the hardware you are running Vectorworks on, but I would expect this to cause performance issues and not restrict the number of lights being actively rendered.

@Peter Smith I have already unclicked the 8 limit box.  I am able to see up to approximately 525 beams.  But if I try to turn more on, there is no change.  So I am wondering if there is a limit beyond this setting. 

There is currently a limit of 512 shaded lit fog beams due to performance reasons.
