Vectorworks, Inc Employee jcogdell Posted July 28, 2022 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted July 28, 2022 You need to enable lit fog in the 'Set Spotlight Rendering Options' dialogue (Spotlight Menu > Visualization) 1 Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 And in VW2022, there will be a maximum of 8 beams visible at a time. 1 Quote Link to comment
DunnDeal Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 (edited) 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? Edited February 25 by DunnDeal Quote Link to comment
Peter Smith Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 @DunnDeal Go to File/ Document Settings/ Document Preferences Select the Display tab, and uncheck the bottom two settings- This will remove the limits on the number of fixtures and shadows that will be renedered 1 Quote Link to comment
DunnDeal Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 (edited) @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. Edited February 26 by DunnDeal Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee jcogdell Posted February 26 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted February 26 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.

There is currently a limit of 512 shaded lit fog beams due to performance reasons. 1 Quote Link to comment
