Export DWG from Vectorworks 2015      

Started By  JPullen
Are there some special settings to check in Vectorworks 2015 when exporting a DWG file for use in Capture Argo. Trussing seems to show up in top views but is displayed as a single line in front and side views, even when zoomed in on. The same happens on fixtures attached to the trussing and other lighting positions. I'm currently using the demo version of Capture trying to evaluate for future purchase. Thanks

Fiber optic light curtain      

Started By  Amedeo Orfei
Hi to all!I'm trying to create a curtain with a fiber optic effect but is not simple as I thought.I thought the concept was to associate the lighting source to something.According to this concept I tried to associate the device to a curtain or materials but does not work.The only device I have found inside of Capture library is 'Fiber Optics GP DMX 150 H'.Capture Argo release 20.1.8How can I achieve this effect Thanks in advance.Amedeo Orfei

add video player      

Started By  newillumination
Is it possible to stream windows media player onto a material in Argo basic, or do you have to play it as a video player under the media tab. And if you have to use the built in video player, is it possible to add sound

Blackout of light      

Started By  newillumination
Ive noticed something weird happening. If I flash something very bright, like a lot of atomics or moles, so almost get a white screen in a flash, then all the other lights seem to blackout and then return in a slow fade. Is this a setting I can change in Argo, or is it my GC working overtime., and running out of power Im using a NVIDIA GTX680M

Symbols colour      

Started By  newillumination
Can someone tell me if its possible to have a symbol key on your plot with the same colours as the symbols on your plot. I get the symbols for each fixture nicely set up in layers, but when I insert a symbol key, they all come up black. Am I doing something wrong

Flame torch and other stuff...      

Started By  Ciuf
Hey Guys, so...I'm trying to make a flame torch, I've imported a sketch up model that is perfect, also created a material called 'flame' with 100 luminosity. Is there anything I can do to make it output light I can imagine I should have the same limitations of the bare lamp...But maybe there is some trick that I don't know yet. In the next few days I will get the solo license (now I'm using the student) but maybe some suggestions could be useful. 1. Folder navigation: it's a little bit tricky...

LUX measurements      

Started By  Ben Willcox
Hi, I wonder if there is any way to have Capture calculate the lux level on a surface For some of our performances we have the requirement to reach a specific lux level and it would seem that rather than calculate this manually that Capture should be able to work this out based on fixture luminance, beam angle, focus, distance etc etc. This would be useful for fixture/lens selection based on a minimum truss trim height where a specific lux level has to be achieved. Does this already exist, or i...
