![]() They get more complicated with the DLVP for vertical positions, but that's generally the gist of it. Always so much to learn on the forum I usually set up my plot with layers for the venue, scenic (one layer per act/scene), and for lighting, I tend to split them into overheads, floor/booms, Front of House. ![]() Interesting how we set up our lighting plots. Where am I entering the layer info in the patch and a user field? I'm not sure how having a user field for layer is entering data twice. Since those don't jive with anything I would do in Vectorworks, those are out. On MA, I have layers separated by "genre".so "Conventional", "Movers", "LED", "Worklights", "FixtureMart". In no way would I design my Design Layer and Class structure around exporting to MA, so those two are out. And I have classes for lots of things, but I do not class fixtures based on layer. But I know that my plots have layers for scenic, rigging, fixtures, cable, racks, etc. ![]() Now, I don't know how you draft your plots, or how you do your layers on MA. The plugin gives you four options for exporting layers from Vectorworks to MA: Design Layers, Classes, Fixture Type, or Position. ![]() The point of the plugin is to streamline workflow so having another user field data entry sounds counterintuitive? In fact, with the way I already draft lighting plots, the plugin sort of works intuitively you get a few options as to how you want to approach the export, so there might be one that suits others better.Īs for deriving from user fields, of course that's a nice thing to have, but then that means entering data twice, once in your patch and then in the user fields. I wouldn't actually say that the VW drawing needs to be designed specifically around the export. ![]()
