Hi everyone. I wanted to ask if it would be possible for you to add the ability to filter by location. Currently, I see that you can only filter by layer or universe; however, I feel it would be much easier to create isolated plot views of specific trusses with the ability to filter by location. I have had a look at the demo files to see how it is recommended that the drawings be exported, but this seems a little bit convoluted in my opinion. It works great when you have a regular stage des...

It would be very beneficial to swap Z with Y directions on the Origin. Lately handling plots to riggers has been a challenge as they often misread the Rigging point locations. They are used to the XY plane to be the ground plane (top view) instead of the front plan (front view). Another great thing that I believe it’s useful is to add a way to have multiple origin planes, at least for a different layers. I usually design with the Origin at Downstage Center, and the capture Front view faci...

Hello, I use capture as my playground for designs. I go as far as getting nice renders into the hands of managers and producers before i send MVRs into Vectorworks and MA3. One issue I am having is that the designs i work on are big and resource intensive. This makes it quite hard to see what i am changing.  Having a solo feature, where only the selected fixtures have output would really help, as would highlight.

I keep doing more and more things with LED neon and LED tape in various forms.     I typically model these wtih an object and assign a material with a luminous glow in a certain color.   However, I would really like to be able to patch an object with a luminous material so I can show clients what a chase would look like on a built scenic piece.    Alternatively adding the followign to the librairy would also solve my issues.  1.  An LED tape strip that is much shorter allowing me to...

Hi. Please allow the possibility of assigning a Channel (ID) of zero or leaving it without a value for multiple fixtures at the same time. Cheers, Oz

Sequential : Being able to open multiple options at the same time... Unit, Channel, Patch... Maybe open them all at once And fill them all in at once.

I would love to be able to place a generic hoist item in my workspace, to estimate how much clearance I need to leave from roof beams, grid etc for my design. Ideally this is represented by the Rigging Plot symbols in the overhead plot but is clearly visible on a section or perspective view, with variable chain lengths to assess trim heights, and changeable properties to account for different hoist types in reports etc The main purpose of this rather than becoming an all in one rigging...

I would love to see more robust paperwork and rigging capabilities: mainly hoists, rigging materials, and things like that. I'd also love for more detailed cable/power planning in paperwork (distros, motor cable, etc.), and something similar to Vectorworks viewports, where I can rearrange my rig in multiple different ways per page of paperwork to making viewing easier. Plot adjustments are nice, but I'd love to have something similar to viewports or plot adjustments per page on my plot. I wou...

Single-color omnidirectional light bulbs are a very common set design/lighting element, but so far as I can tell, there is no fixture in the Capture library for creating one.  I am currently using a capture model for a nightclub set on a Netflix TV series which has long strings of red and green bulbs outlining the walls, and it would be great to have these bulbs represented in their actual colors in my model.   I am currently using the generic omnidirectional bulb fixture to render them.  Thi...
